O Captain
Verse 1:

How can I get any better this late at night?

We’ll just keep wandering looking for what, God only knows

Verse 2:
E MajorE G#G#
Washed up on this desert island, a suitcase in my hand
C# minorC#m BB
Digging holes to bury treasure, rumbling through the ruined sand

We’re just two old Ex-Believers looking for a sign

The worst part is I loved you dearly so let me give you some advice

The next stray ship that crosses your path, maybe you ought to think twice

Cos when a lady’s mind’s on fire, you got a choice to make
