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

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