The Captain And The Lady - Ver 2

Dmaj7 D F#m E A A Amaj7sus2 D A There was a captain, and there was a lady, Amaj7sus2 D E There was a ship, of wood and of steel, A Amaj7sus2 D A And there were the years that they sailed her together, F#m E D A A Her at the lookout, and him at the wheel. A Amaj7sus2 D A For gold and a fine house to Kate they meant nothing, Amaj7sus2 D E And he was a fisherman, who couldn't stay still, A Amaj7sus2 D A So they came together and they called to the shipwrights, F#m E D A A To build them a vessel to go where they willed. A D F#m E Sail away, away, from the Capes to the North, A D Esus4 E With a cargo and crew so fine, Bm E A D This was the dream of their time. A E O, sing me boys, sing me boys, D F#m D E We'll weigh in the anchor, and haul out the sails, A Amaj7sus2 Sing me boys, O sing, F#m E D A And we'll sail on past daybreak in a good southern gale. A D F#m E A C#m D Dsus2 D One morning the sun rose pale yellow, A Amaj7sus2 E The sky was a bleeding blood red, A Amaj7sus2 D A All hands on deck, now a vast wind a'brewin', F#m E D A E A Asus4 A That'll bring down the heavens, and wake up the dead. C#m C#m7 D Dsus2 D The storm came and struck like a hammer, A Amaj7sus2 D E And with it came fever that sent Kate below, A Amaj7sus2 D A And just like the fires that burned in the rigging, F#m E D A Asus4 A It burned in the lady who lay down below. A D F#m E By midnight the see it had raged and gone silent, A D Esus4 E By sunrise her shroud had been sewn, Bm E A D And at sunset the sea took her home. A E O, sing me boys, sing me boys, D F#m D E We'll weigh in the anchor, and haul out the sails, A Amaj7sus2 Sing me boys, O sing, F#m E D A E A Asus4 A And we'll sail on past daybreak in a good southern gale. A Amaj7sus2 D A And so sailed the captain alone from the lady, Amaj7sus2 D E The crew mourned her loss, as one of their own, A Amaj7sus2 D A 'Til one night a storm caught them hard upon harbor, F#m E D A E A Asus4 A and threatened to dash them apart on the stone. C#m D Dsus2 D In the darkness the crew could see nothing, A Amaj7sus2 D E And the captain was helpless, he steered all alone, A Amaj7sus2 D A The sudden to starboard there stood a figure, F#m E D A E A Asus4 A Guiding the ship into harbor and home. Pre-Chorus 3 A D F#m E And so came the lady, back to the captain, A D Esus4 E To chart him a course that was true, Bm E A D and he brought the ship safely on through. A E O, sing me boys, sing me boys, D F#m D E We'll weigh in the anchor, and haul out the sails, A Amaj7sus2 Sing me boys, O sing, F#m E D A E A Asus4 A And we'll sail on past daybreak in a good southern gale. A Amaj7sus2 D A And in the years after when the weather was fine, Amaj7sus2 D E The captain dreamed softly, alone in his years, A Amaj7sus2 D A But when the sky darkened, when the sea rose up swiftly, F#m E D A Asus4 A Between him and danger the lady appeared. A Amaj7sus2 D A And then one October, at the first touch of winter, Amaj7sus2 D E The captain made harbor, put the crew all ashore, A Amaj7sus2 D A The ship needs a rest boys, come back in the springtime, F#m E D A Asus4 A And together we'll sail the big waters once more. C#m D Dsus2 D Alone then he sailed from the harbor, A Amaj7sus2 D E It was out past the marker, it was into the wind, A Amaj7sus2 D A It was into the arms of the lady who beckoned, F#m E D A E A Asus4 A It was there on the rocks that he found her a-gain. D F#m Esus4 A E So sing me boys, sing me boys, D F#m D E We'll weigh in the anchor, haul the sails up above, A Amaj7sus2 Sing me boys, O sing, F#m E D F#m E We'll sing of the captain and the one that he loved. A E O, sing me boys, all the way, sing, D F#m D E We'll weigh in the anchor, and haul out the sails, A Amaj7sus2 Sing me boys, haul away, sing, F#m E D A E A And we'll sail on past daybreak in a good southern gale. F#m E D A E A Sail on past daybreak in a good southern gale F#m E D A E A Asus4 A Sail on past daybreak in a good southern gale D F#m E A
