[Introduction]
A minorAm
[Verse 1]
A minorAm E minorEm
Oh my captain, Oh my captain
FF C majorC
I've been working hard for you
FF C majorC
Trying to make you love me too
FF C majorC G+G
Doing all that I can do for my captain
A minorAm C majorC
Oh my captain, open your eyes
FF C majorC
See the rebel on the stairs
FF C majorC
And are there roamers everywhere
FF C majorC G+G
And how it seems that no one cares for my captain
[Chorus1]
G7G7 C majorC FF
Tell me now what is going on
G+G C majorC FF
See the ground that I'm standing on
E minorEm FF
How it crumbles at my feet
E minorEm C majorC
As we dance you remind me
[Verse 2]
A minorAm E minorEm
Oh my captain, Oh my captain
FF C majorC
I've remembered every song
FF C majorC
And now I've learned to sing them all
FF C majorC G+G
Still I wonder what is wrong with my captain
A minorAm C majorC
Oh my captain, hold on to me
FF C majorC
Tell me why you let me go
FF C majorC
And why the anchor man needs rope
FF C majorC G+G
Already half way off the boat for my captain
[Chorus2]
G7G7 C majorC FF
Tell me now what is going on
G+G C majorC FF
See the tower that I'm coming from
E minorEm FF
How it shakes beneath my feet
E minorEm C majorC
As we fall you remind me
[Instrumental]

G7G7 C majorC FF
Tell me now what is going on
G+G C majorC FF
See the tower that I'm calling from
E minorEm FF
How it breaks beneath my feet
E minorEm C majorC
As we fly it reminds me
[Outro]
A minorAm C majorC
Oh my captain, Oh my captain
FF C majorC
Now it's time for me to part
FF C majorC
To rip the needle from my heart
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
