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

[Verse 3]
G#m
So when you find yourself lamenting
D#
On that lonely pier,
E
Watching as the ships come in,
B D#
And dryin' off your tears,
G#m
Believe in what he stood for,
D#
And I know that he’ll survive.
E
Inside our hearts dear Placeholder
F#
Will always be alive!
[Chorus]
B F#
Farewell to thee, Placeholder,
G#m D#
Your ship has sailed to sea.
E B
We'll tip our hats and pray one day
F#
To be as great as thee.
B F# G#m D#
Captain P, you'll never know the emptiness inside
E B F# B
As we sit ashore on Menethil, waitin' for a ride.
