The Captain    (intro)    (midi)

 

    G - D - Em - C

 

                         G

1. Well, I don't have as many friends because

           D

    I'm not as pretty as I was,

          Em                                                      C

    I've kicked myself at times because I've lied.

                  G

    So I will have to learn to stand my ground,

         D

    I'll tell 'em I won't be around,

          Em                                            C

    I'll move on over to your town and hide.

 

                              G                          D

And you’ll be the Captain, and I'll be no one,

                     Em                               C

and you can carry me away if you want to.

                      G                               D

And you can lay low, just like your father,

              Em                                          C

and if I tread upon your feet, you just say so.

                               G

'Cause you're the Captain, I am no one,

                D                                         C

I tend to feel as though I owe one to you.

 

               G       - D - Em - C

    T….o you.

 

                         G

2. Well, I have handed all my efforts in,

        D

    I searched here for my second wind,

                 Em                                           C

    is there somewhere here to let me in, I asked.

             G

    So I slammed the doors they slammed at me,

        D

    I found the place I'm meant to be,

     Em                                    C

    I figured out my destiny at last.

 

                       G                          D

You’ll be the Captain, and I'll be no one,

                     Em                               C

and you can carry me away if you want to.

                      G                               D

And you can lay low, just like your father,

              Em                                          C

and if I tread upon your feet, you just say so.

                               G

'Cause you're the Captain, I am no one,

                D                                         C

I tend to feel as though I owe one to you.

 

               G      

    T….o you.

 

Bm             C                      - D            G

    Did I forget to thank you      for the ride,

                 Em                   D                    C      ~

    I hadn't tried, I tend to run away and hide.

 

+ CHORUS

 

                                  G

    'Cause you're the Captain, I am no one,

                   D                                          C

    I tend to feel as though I owe one to you.

                                   G                  D

    'Cause you're the Captain, I am no one,

               C                G    - D - Em - C     G - D - Em - C ~ ~

    and I owe one to you.
