[Verse 1]
Em
On the stormy shores of Azeroth,
B
D silhouette did stand.
C
D brave and stalwart sailor
G B
Who gave a helpin' hand.
Em
Without fail, on every whim,
B
Which we did demand,
C
He simply smiled and waved his hand,
D
And sent us 'cross the land.
[Chorus]
G D
Farewell to thee, Placeholder,
Em B
Your ship has sailed to sea.
C G
We'll tip our hats and pray one day
D
To be as great as thee.
G D Em B
Captain P, you'll never know the emptiness inside
C G D G
As we sit ashore on Menethil, waitin' for a ride.
[Verse 2]
Em
Time did pass, until, one day,
B
That silhouette did fade.
C
Where once we found Placeholder
G B
Only scattered winds remained.

On that dark and dreary day.

But come along, my friends,

Let's raise a glass up for his name!

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

Your ship has sailed to sea.
