[Verse 1]
Am
On the stormy shores of Azeroth,
E
G silhouette did stand.
F
G brave and stalwart sailor
C E
Who gave a helpin' hand.
Am
Without fail, on every whim,
E
Which we did demand,
F
He simply smiled and waved his hand,
G
And sent us 'cross the land.
[Chorus]
C G
Farewell to thee, Placeholder,
Am E
Your ship has sailed to sea.
F C
We'll tip our hats and pray one day
G
To be as great as thee.
C G Am E
Captain P, you'll never know the emptiness inside
F C G C
As we sit ashore on Menethil, waitin' for a ride.
[Verse 2]
Am
Time did pass, until, one day,
E
That silhouette did fade.
F
Where once we found Placeholder
C E
Only scattered winds remained.
Am
The stormy sea went silent
E
On that dark and dreary day.
F
But come along, my friends,
G
Let's raise a glass up for his name!
[Chorus]
C G
Farewell to thee, Placeholder,
Am E
Your ship has sailed to sea.
F C
We'll tip our hats and pray one day
G
To be as great as thee.
C G Am E
Captain P, you'll never know the emptiness inside
F C G C
As we sit ashore on Menethil, waitin' for a ride.

[Verse 3]
Am
So when you find yourself lamenting
E
On that lonely pier,
F
Watching as the ships come in,
C E
And dryin' off your tears,
Am
Believe in what he stood for,
E
And I know that he’ll survive.
F
Inside our hearts dear Placeholder
G
Will always be alive!
[Chorus]
C G
Farewell to thee, Placeholder,
Am E
Your ship has sailed to sea.
F C
We'll tip our hats and pray one day
G
To be as great as thee.

Captain P, you'll never know the emptiness inside
