[Verse 1]

Am Em
I'm only a couple years away"

Oh, so save a seat for me
C Bb
I'll be with you eventually

Without a shred of dignity
C Bb
A lordsman took that away from me
[Chorus]
F C
He said, "Halt! I am the captain of the ship
Bb F
You must obey my every whim

I am the captain of the ship"

I remember everything
C Bb
I just can't help remembering

They took us out of Sunday school
C Bb
And drowned us in the swimming pool
[Verse 4]
F
Dirty shirts and underwear
C Bb
They packed me with silverware
F
It took a year or two or three
C Bb
To find some line to rescue me
F
Although it was illogical
C Bb
She was so very beautiful
F
Oh well, she did not wait for me
C Bb
A lordsman took her away you see

You must obey my every whim

I am the captain of the ship

I am the captain of the ship
Bb F
I am the captain of the ship
C
I am the captain of the ship
Bb F
I am the captain of the ship
I am the captain, captain"
