D   Cadd9   x 4  w/ wah  puis  D(sus2,sus4)  Cadd9  x 2 

Everybody, listen to me
And return me my ship
I'm your captain, I'm your captain
Although I'm feeling mighty sick

D(sus2,sus4)  Cadd9

I've been lost now days uncounted
And it's months since I've seen home
Can you hear me, can you hear me
Or am I all alone?

D(sus2,sus4)  Cadd9

If you return me to my home port
I will kiss you, Mother Earth
Take me back now, take me back now
To the port of my birth

  Am I in my cabin dreaming    or are you really scheming
  Dm         B♭/D           F    A
  To take my ship away from me?

  You'd better think about it, I just can't live without it
  So please don't take my ship from me, yeah yeah yeah

D   Cadd9   x 4  w/ wah  puis  D(sus2,sus4)  Cadd9  x 2

I can feel the hand of a stranger
And it's tightening around my throat
Heaven help me, Heaven help me
Take this stranger from my boat

I'm your captain, I'm your captain
Although I'm feeling mighty sick
Everybody, listen to me
And return me my ship

I'm your captain, yeah yeah yeah yeah  x 4
