[Verse]
Am D I once dreamed that I was captain Jack G Em Lived his great deeds never looking back Am D And we lived a long tale destined for the page G Em But then crept in the tell tale signs of age Am And the capn knew his options D Quit the life and peter out G Em Or die as he lived and soon he had no doubt Am D So he found his old journal illustrious but bare G Em And tried to put names to the people he found there
[Bridge]
C C Bm Em And I cried knowing his stories would be his alone C C Bm Em Written only on the sea stripped planks of his sinking soul Am D For every ship loses the long game against the sea G But as I awoke Am D G I knew that he was not lost for he had me
[Chorus]
C Em D So sing it with me now Em D A C A I embrace the captain as my lord and saviour C Em D Keep his memory alive Em D A C A and he'll make you brave oh yeeeah G A E Cos this one's for the brigands Bm A E The mad and the genius' G A E The rare mix of both Bm A E And the fans of getting truly pissed G A E The wild cards and the free Bm A E And anyone else I may of missed G A E So sing it with me now Bm A E Tonight I'm on Jacks ship G A E O captain (My captain) Bm A E O captain (My captain)
(Bridge repeat)
C C Bm Em
[Verse]
Am D But sleep fog numbed the tides of memory left my mind G Em And as I scrambled for my phone to write Am D the dream was left behind G Em So this is all that's left of him now Am D A song to keep him alive G Em Because that's all he really wanted (elongate) Am D G Before he died
