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

To be as great as thee.

Captain P, you'll never know the emptiness inside

[Verse 3]
Gm
So when you find yourself lamenting
D
On that lonely pier,
D#
Watching as the ships come in,
A# D
And dryin' off your tears,
Gm
Believe in what he stood for,
D
And I know that he’ll survive.
D#
Inside our hearts dear Placeholder
F
Will always be alive!
[Chorus]
A# F
Farewell to thee, Placeholder,
Gm D
Your ship has sailed to sea.

We'll tip our hats and pray one day
F
To be as great as thee.
A# F Gm D
Captain P, you'll never know the emptiness inside
D# A# F A#
As we sit ashore on Menethil, waitin' for a ride.
