"O'Captain" (Steed, Jones, Back)
by The Polka Bastards
This transcription from a live performance, but originally from their debut album "Fishin' License."
Here it is! I have had many a request for this one, I was surprised to see the Polka Bastards were not on Olga. I think this is pretty close I watched them play it at a recent concert in the Twin Cities.

The intro is the underlying progession of almost the whole song.
Intro: A,B9,B,C#9,A,B9,B,C#9,C,B,A,C,B,A
AB9BC#9 O'Captain my captain the ship is going down
AB9BC#9 O'Captain my captain won't you please turn around
CBA Women and children on the life raft first
CBA No pushing no shoving, I said children first
AB9BC#9 O'Captain my captain won't you come aboard
AB9BC#9 There is nothing that you can do any more
CBA But the captain just stood and looked over stern
CBA Whith a look in his eye a look of concern
AB9BC#9 O'Captain my captain it's your last chance
AB9BC#9 O'Captain my captain live again to dance
CBA But the water rose to the captains knee
CBA As the ship sunk to the bottom of the sea
AB9BC#9 O'Captain my captain I bid the farewell
AB9BC#9 O'Captain my captain what a tale they will tell
CBA With the captains last breath he tipped his hat to me
CBA That is all of the captain that I'll ever see
AB9BC#9 O'Captain my captain now turned to bubbles
>From here they go (on the album) into the big jam, but I don't have time to tab that out now. If I get any requests, maybe I'll post it later.
