Captain Kennedy

Dm                   C         Dm
I am a young mariner headed to war
I'm thinkin' 'bout my family and 
F           Dm
what it was for
                         F       
There's water on the wood and the 
                Dm
sails feel good
And when I get to shore I hope that 
  C        Dm
I can kill good

My father was a sailor named Captain
 Kennedy

He lost his wooden schooner to the 
Germans on the sea

Exploded on the water for everyone 
for everyone to see

And humiliate that American Captain 
Kennedy


Dm                     C    
I saw him in Nassau in ninteen 
              Dm
seventy one
His strength was failin' but he 
F              Dm
still ran a run
                   F               
He worked 'til his fingers wore to 
    Dm
the bone
                                C  
To buy that wooden schooner and 
         Dm
sail on his own

He was known in the islands as 
hundred foot iron
That steel hull freighter was 
passin' its time
And time flew by faster with life on
 the sea
And the days grew shorter for 
Captain Kennedy

I am a young mariner headed to war
I'm thinkin' 'bout my family and 
what it was for
There's water on the wood and the 
sails feel good
And when I get to shore I hope that 
I can kill good
