D G
I never used to miss the chance
D G
To climb upon his knee
D G
And listen to the many tales
E7 A
Of life upon the sea
F#m G
We'd go sailing back on barkentines
F#m G
And talk of things he did
F#m G
Tomorrow's just a day away
E7 A D
For the captain and the kid
His world had gone from sailing ships
To raking mom's back yard
He never could adjust to land
Although he tried so hard
We both were growing older then
And wiser with our years
That's when I came to understand
The course his heart still steers
He died about a month ago
While winter filled the air
And though I cried I was so proud
To love a man so rare
He's somewhere on the ocean now
The place he ought to be
With one hand on the starboard rail
He's waving back at me
Repeat first verse
E7 A D
For the captain and this kid
