[Verse 1]
Fm
Round robin round
        Bbm
We were all hypnotized by the sound
       Fm
Of the tales from the old country
C                      Fm
Told for a pint and a pound


Fm
Stories of battles at sea
        Bbm
From a voice that could shake down 
the trees
         Fm
And the face of an angel
    C                     Fm
All battered by grand tragedy


[Chorus]
Bbm                     Eb
Raise your glass in the air
       Fm            C
With a tear in your eye

Time has come now to bid him goodbye
Fm                      Bbm
For at first light this morn
         Fm          C
The old captain has died
         Fm         C        Fm
Let him live on in legend tonight


[Verse 2]
   Fm
No soul shared his name
        Bbm
And he sought neither fortune nor 
fame
         Fm
But this old dusty tavern
    C                         Fm
Is kingdom o'er with he would reign


       Fm
Not a chapter in life he forgot
        Bbm
And the truth of it all mattered not
      Fm                      
For adventure and grandeur and 
  C
rapture
                  Fm
We'd feast on the lot


[Chorus]
            Bbm         Eb
Raise your glass in the air
       Bbm          C
With a tear in your eye
         Bbm         Eb           C
Time has come now to bid him goodbye
        Fm              Bbm
For at first light this morn
        Fm           C
The old captain has died
        Fm          C         Fm
Let him live on in legend tonight


         Bbm               Eb
Now the stars will shine brightly
   Bbm         C
No more in the sky
          Bbm             Eb      
They have lost their best sailor 
   C
to guide
They've lost their best sailor to 
guide
        Fm              Bbm
For at first light this morn
         Fm          C
The old captain has died
        Fm          C        Fm
Let him live on in legend tonight
