Captain Jinks Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Hey, [D]side meat.
Oh, what's that, Ranger Doug?
Come on up and tell us all about
that fabulous Captain Jinx
of the Horse Marines.
[A]All right, boys.
[D]One, two, you know what to [A]do.[D][A][D]
I'm Captain Jinx of the Horse Marines.
I [A]feed my horse on [D]corn and beans.
And support young ladies
in their teens.
Though a [A]captain in the [D]army.
I [G]teach young ladies [D]how to dance.
How [E]to [A]dance, [D]how to dance,
I [G]teach young ladies [D]how to dance,
For [E]I'm the President of [A]the Army.
Yes, the ladies,
bless their dear little hearts,
They dote [G]upon the [A]military.
There's a dear little creature,
a friend of mine,
I met her on Broadway the other day,
[G]And she nudged an acquaint[A]ance of hers
and said,
[G]Do you[A] know what great
a personage that is?
[G]That's no less a person
than [A]the renowned [D]Captain
Chinks of the horse marines,
I [A]feed my horse on [D]corn and beans,
And often live beyond my means,
though [G]I'm Captain [A]in
the [D]Army.[G][D][G][D]
[A]I j[D]oined my Corps when twenty -one,
of [A]course I thought it [D]capital fun.
When the enemy came,
of course I ran,
for I'm [A]not cut out for the [D]Army.
When [G]I left home, M[D]ama she cried,
[E]Mama she [A]cried,
[D]Mama she cried.
[E]When I left home, [D]Mama she cried,
[E]He's not cut out for the[A] army.
I [D]said, [A]My Dear [E]Mama,
[G]Pra[D]y look at [A]your son's
exquisite figure,
And I assure you, My Dear Mama,
You will ever [G]find me [A]a dutiful b[G]oy,
[A]And yours very truly [D]mine.
Captain Jinx of the horse marines,
I [A]feed my horse on [D]corn and beans,
And often live beyond my means,
Though a [G]captain [A]in the [D]army.[G][D][G]
[D]
[A]The[D] first time I went out to drill,
The [A]bugle sounding [D]made me ill.
On the battlefield I've had my fill,
For I'm [A]not cut out for the [D]army.
The [G]officers, they [D]all did shout,
they [E]all did [A]shout,
they [D]all did shout,
the [Bm]officer[D]s, they [A]all did [D]shout.
Why [E]kick him out of the army?
[A]Oh, I said, gentlemen, kick me out?
[G]Oh,[A] that's a very good
joke [D]upon my word.
I'll [G]re tire without being kicked out.
[A]An d [E]with the [A]most profound
re[A]ciprocity of feeling,
you will ever find me yours very truly.
Cap[D]tain Jinx of the horse marines,
I [A]feed my horse on [D]corn and beans,
And often live beyond my means,
though I'm [G]Captain [A]in the [D]Army.
[G]Oh! [D]Oh! Sing it, boys!
[G]Yes, I'm a cap[A]tain in the Arm[D]y!
