??????????: 7

D G

I never used to miss the chance

D G

To climb upon his knee

D G

And listen to the many tales

E7 A

Of life upon the sea

F#m G

We'd go sailing back on barkentines

F#m G

And talk of things he did

F#m G

Tomorrow's just a day away

E7 A D

For the captain and the kid

His world had gone from sailing ships

To raking mom's back yard

He never could adjust to land

Although he tried so hard

We both were growing older then

And wiser with our years

That's when I came to understand

The course his heart still steers

He died about a month ago

While winter filled the air

And though I cried I was so proud

To love a man so rare

He's somewhere on the ocean now

The place he ought to be

With one hand on the starboard rail

He's waving back at me

(Repeat first verse)

E7 A D

For the captain and this kid
