Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Bm]I am the captain and I
[F#m]have been told
That to[G]morrow we land and
[D]my ship has been sold
[G]Now losing this boat
is worth [D]scarce a mention
I [G]think of [D]the crew,
most of all the first ensign
For [G]all [D]we learned the sea
[Bm]

[Verse 2]
[Bm]Guiding a ship,
it takes more [D]than [A]your skill[F#m]
[D]It's the [G]compass inside it's
[D]the strength of your will
[G]The first ensign watched as
[D]tempest[Bm]s all tried me[G]
I sang [D]in the wind as if God were beside me
For [G]all we [D]learned the sea

[Verse 3]
[Bm]You take the wheel[D] one m[Bm]ore [D]time[G]
like I [D]showed [F#m]you[Bm]
We've reached the strait [F#m]once even
[G]I could n[D]ot go t[Bm]hrough[D]
[Bm]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]I am the captain and I h[D]ave been told
But [G]I am not shaken,
I [D]am [Bm]eight [D]years old
And [G]you are still young,
but you'll [D]under[Bm]stand
That the [G]stars [D]of the sea are
the same for the land
And [G]we came to [D]learn [Bm]the sea

[Outro 1]
[D][G]
[D][G][Bm][D][G][D][Bm]
[D][G][D]
