[Verse 1]
G He was a fugitive with a pseudo name C D Lost his mind in a hurricane G Coconut upside his head C D People said he'd be better dead, cause his Em Glory days are gone C Sits on the shore with his saxophone D and plays
[Verse 2]
G In another place, in another time C D He was a soldier in his prime G On the battlefield, makin' history C D Young men died for his destiny, and their Em Widows came each day C Till he was forced to run away D From home
[Verse 3]
G So he bought a town, but he sold the sea C D Claimed a shallow victory G On an iron ship, with a wooden crew C D They hit the reef when the moon was new, now he Em Cries himself to sleep C On a beach made of promises he meant to keep D Long ago
[Chorus]
C D G Nobody speaks to the Captain no more C D G Nobody talks about the war C D G Hey what the hell were we fighting for Bm C Such a long long time ago

Em D And now the monkeys and the iguanas Em D They listen to his song Em D A most uncaptive audience A7 D D/C D/B D/A He plays to all night long
[Verse 4]
G So the story goes, he was dressed to kill C D When he jumped from the old mahogany mill G And the jungle beasts, they were heard to wail, as the C D Saxophone still played the scale, for a Em Man they never know C Who looked like me and you D Long ago
[Chorus]
C D G Nobody speaks to the Captain no more C D G No one is interested in settling old scores C D G Hey what the hell were we fighting for Bm C D Such a long, long time ago C D G Nobody speaks to the Captain no more C D G No one is interested in settling old scores C D G Hey what the hell were we fighting for Bm C Such a long, long time D G ago
