[Intro]
E B G#m A x2
[Verse 1]
C#m B
I left my captain's hat at home
G#m A
There's no pirates I can dodge or islands to explore
C#m B
Just some plain folks who don't mind
G#m A
The sound of screaming children and drinking too much vodka the line
C#m A C#m
And oh-oh-oh I sing
[Chorus]
C#m B F#m
No way to change what's been said and done
C#m B A C#m F#m
I've set my own course and I'll try to carry on
[Bridge]
C#m C#m B B B F#m A A
C#m C#m G#m B B F#m F#m A A
[Verse 2]
C#m B
On my days off from my ship
G#m
I sail the windy streets of Stockholm
A
Captain of the great ?
C#m B
It's first breakfast with the king
G#m A
Recount the month's adventures and divvy up the treasures that I bring
A
But oh I sing
[Chorus]
C#m B F#m A
No way to change what's been said and done
C#m B F#m A
I've set my own course and I'll try to carry on
C#m B F#m A
So back and forth I go on this Baltic sea
C#m B F#m C#m F#m G#m
Waiting for a whale to come and rescue me hey, hey
G#m
and I hear them sing:
C#m G#m B F#m
Oh----oh----oh let's all toast to the ones we love
C#m G#m B F#m
Oh----oh----oh to old friends and to Viking blood
C#m G#m B F#m
Oh----oh----oh we sing all night to the brig Svea
C#m G#m F#m G#m
Oh----oh----oh and I'll just bide my time
B C#m
Steer the Silja line
