Intro: GVerse 1:
G I wish I had an eyeglass G Polished brass and bone G To see beyond this ocean G Now I’m going on aloneD Oh the captain he is dead Em C G Oh the captain he is deadVerse 2:
G The ropes you bound around me G They’re tighter than your fist G And when I come to cutting G They’ll be first upon on my listD Oh the captain he is dead Em C G Oh the captain he is deadVerse 3:
G I wish I was in Waterfall G Wading ankles deep G My tongue’s too dry to lick my wounds G And I got no tears to weepD Oh the captain he is dead Em C G Oh the captain he is deadVerse 4:
G Standing at my garden gate G Both feet on the ground G I’m heading down to Lovers’ Leap G Gonna watch that ship go downD Oh the captain he is dead Em C G Oh the captain he is dead D Oh the captain he is dead Em C G Oh the captain he is deadVerse 5:
G Never left the midlands G Never saw the foam G But now I’ve lost that good old man G I’m miles away from homeD Oh the captain he is dead Em C G Oh the captain he is deadVerse 6:
G I never felt them silken sheets G A-Licking on my skin G But now that captain’s going down G My ship’s coming inOutro: Em C Em C Em GD Oh the captain he is dead Em C G Oh the captain he is dead D Oh the captain he is dead Em C G Oh the captain he is dead
