Alison Krauss & Union Station – The Captains Daughter (Guitar)

C#                    A#m
I'm a poor boy as you know

      C#                          F#
But I love the Captain's daughter so

C#                        A#m
If I begged her would she go?

   D#                F#  C#  F#  G#  C#
Or would she tell me no, no, no, no, no?

C#                A#m
Daddy is a sailor man

C#                       F#
Your fresh from the farm land

C#                      A#m
He said when you ask my hand

    G#             F#  C#  F#  G#  C#
For me to tell you no, no, no, no, no

C#                        A#m
Your daddy's gone away to sea

C#                      F#
You're as lovely as can be

C#                    A#m
Come and go away with me

    D#                F#  C#  F#  G#  C#
Oh, don't you tell me no, no, no, no, no

   A#m
My daddy owns a clipper ship

   G#
He brings me pearls on every trip

F#
Pink champagne for me to sip

    D#                       F#    C#    F#    G#    C#
And you're the poorest boy I know, know, know, know, know

C#                         A#m
I've got no pearls to give you

     C#                            F#
I've got two arms and heart that's true

C#                             A#m
We could start with a dream or two

   D#7                  F#  C#  F# G# C#
Oh won't you say you'll go, go?

C#                              A#m
The poor boy came from the farm land

C#                               F#
She was the daughter of a sailor man

    C#                              A#m
The Captain says 'When he begs your hand

    D#              F#  C#  F#  G#  C#
You better tell him no, no, no, no, no'

          A#m
She said 'Papa don't you worry please

    G#
The poor begs me upon his knees

F#
I'd never leave this life of ease'

    D#7
And with the poor boy goes

    C#                                A#m
The captain kissed her and he went to sea

    C#                          F#
The poor boy said 'Go away with me

       C#                       A#m
You're lonely and you shouldn't be

    D#                F#  C#  F#  G#  C#
Oh, don't you tell me no, no, no, no, no'

   A#m
My daddy owns a clipper ship

   G#
He brings me pearls on every trip

F#
Pink champagne for me to sip

    D#7                      F#    C#    F#    G#    C#
And you're the poorest boy I know, know, know, know, know

     C#                  A#m
Your daddy's given you a home

           C#                    F#
But you've got nobody when he is gone

F#
I'll go and leave you all alone

       D#              F#  C#  F#  G#  C#
If the answer is still no, no, no, no, no
