Capo on 3th fret

 C majorC      FF C majorC     G+G    A minorAm
Stardate 42695.3 was a pretty big day for me
C majorC      G+G     C majorC
I was given my first command
    C majorC         G+G             C majorC
But it turned out to be more difficult then I'd planned

  C majorC             FF     G+G
So I went to Riker and said "What if I fail?
G+G              C majorC      A minorAm
What if I freeze up with a Borg on our tail?
C majorC      G+G         C majorC
What if the choice I make is wrong?"

   C majorC             FF     C majorC
And Riker said to me "Wesley, give me break
    G+G               A minorAm
It's arrogant to think you'll never make a mistake
   C majorC     G+G     C majorC
But when you're in that position
   C majorC      G+G         C majorC
You only have to ask yourself one question"

   FF     G+G     C majorC
Oh, what would Captain Picard do?
   FF     G+G     C majorC
Oh, what would Captain Picard do?

   FF      G+G    C majorC    G+G    C majorC
He'd ensure the safety of his ship and his crew
   FF    G+G    C majorC
And then complete the mission
   FF    G+G      C majorC
And make himself a better person
    FF        G+G
Bring peace to the galaxy
   C majorC   G+G  C majorC
And do it for free

  C-G             C majorC
Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do
  F-G             C majorC
Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do

  C majorC          FF     C majorC
I just woke up after three centuries
    G+G          A minorAm
And my first thought was of money
 C majorC      G+G     C majorC
Not that my family was gone

      C majorC           FF   C majorC
But this bald guy in a jumpsuit said to me
    G+G       C majorC  A minorAm
That they'd abolished currency
C majorC        G+G       C majorC
Everything I'd worked for was gone
     FF     G+G      C majorC
Yeah, there was nothing to withdraw

  C majorC          FF     G+G
I said to him "What do you invest in
     G+G         C majorC A minorAm
If you don't have big corporations?"
C majorC       G+G     C majorC
He said "We invest in ourselves"
   FF       G+G         C majorC
And maybe I should try that out for myself

     FF      G+G    C majorC
Because that's what Captain Picard would do
     FF      G+G    C majorC
Yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do

   FF      G+G    C majorC    G+G    C majorC
He'd ensure the safety of his ship and his crew
   FF    G+G     C majorC
And then complete the mission
   FF    G+G      C majorC
And make himself a better person
    FF        G+G
Bring peace to the galaxy
     C majorC   G+G  C majorC
And he'd do it for free

  C-G             C majorC
Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do
  F-G             C majorC
Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do

  FF        G+G      C majorC    G+G   C majorC
Remember when he told us to remove the saucer section
    FF        G+G      C majorC    G+G  C majorC
Even though we were at warp nine, there was no objection
   FF          G+G       C-G  C majorC
And yeah we could have killed the Borg using Hugh
   FF          G+G       C majorC     G+G   C majorC
But we agreed with the Captain it was the wrong thing to do

     FF       G+G     C-G    C majorC
And I'd rather follow Dixon Hill, Private Detective
    FF       G+G      C majorC   G+G    C majorC
Than observe some outmoded and obscure prime directive

     FF      G+G      C majorC   G+G    C majorC
And even after he was tortured for forty days and nights
   FF      G+G      C majorC     G+G     C majorC
He told that Cardassian that there were still four lights

   FF         G+G        C majorC
And yeah when you're confused and the choice is too hard
    FF    G+G     C majorC
Just think of Captain Picard
    FF    G+G     C majorC
Just think of Captain Picard

    FF     G+G     C majorC
Think what would Captain Picard do?
    FF     G+G     C majorC
Yeah, what would Captain Picard do?

    FF     G+G
He'd save the galaxy
     C majorC   G+G  C majorC
And he'd do it for free
    FF        G+G
He'd protect the whole world
     C majorC   G+G    C majorC
And he'd still get the girl
     FF      G+G
And he'd save the federation
       C majorC    G+G  C majorC
And earn the Klingon's admiration

  C-G             C majorC
Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do
  F-G             C majorC
Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do
