[Verse 1]
Em Em
Well, I'm starin' 'cross the deck
Em Em C7(b5)
Up at the captain's daughter
B7 B7
And her eyes, they look brighter
B7 B7
Than the sun on that water
Am7
Boys that's right,
B7
Boys that's right,
B5 B7 B+ B5 Em
I think we're setting sail tonight
[Verse 2]
Em Em
She lets me look, but just from a distance
C7(b5) B7 B7
And she won't speak to me
B7 B7
But when I sing she still listens
Am7
Late at night
B7
Late at night
B5 B7 B+ B5 Em
Without a speck of land in sight
[Verse 3]
Em Em
Oh, her dress was bright green and embroidered
C7(b5) B7 B7
Honey, I know because I've been staring at her
B7 B7
Since the day that we boarded
Am7
Staring at her thigh
B7
Staring at her thigh
B5 B7 B+ B5 Em
Now I'm looking it, in a brand new light
[Verse 4]
Em Em
See, that was first in the heat of passion
C7(b5) B7 B7
But its been fifteen days since we exhausted all the rations
Am7
Boys that's right
B7
Boys that's right
B5 B7 B+ B5 Em
Now I'm looking at her with an appetite
B7 Am7
I'm going to make her mine
B7
Make her mine
