Captain Goes Down

©2016 Garrett Clevenger

Cmaj7 D The wise man threw a life boat out.

Cmaj7 D He knew the ship was goin’ down.

Cmaj7 D There was no, no

Cmaj7 D savin’ it.

Cmaj7 D The captain said, “What should we do?

Cmaj7 D “I lived my life sailin’ you.

Cmaj7 D “Now we’re goin’

Cmaj7 D down, down.”

Cmaj7 D His first mate shed a tear.

Cmaj7 D This was always her worst fear.

Cmaj7 D But she helped

Cmaj7 D the people out.

Cmaj7 D Panic filled the passengers.

Cmaj7 D Like the end of two lovers.

Cmaj7 D Who, who were,

Cmaj7 D who were dyin’.

Chorus:

G D Cmaj7 When the ship gets hit

G D Cmaj7 by a fatal slip

G D Cmaj7 And it’s

Em the captain’s fault.

Cmaj7 D The captain threw his bottle down.

Cmaj7 D Chaos swam all around

Cmaj7 D as many

Cmaj7 D drowned.

Cmaj7 D He spoke into the intercom

Cmaj7 D His last connection with anyone.

Cmaj7 D He said,

Cmaj7 D his goodbye.

Cmaj7 D “I lost myself out at sea

Cmaj7 D “I tried to find serenity

Cmaj7 D “I tried

Cmaj7 D “to be free.

Cmaj7 D “Now this is it. We’re goin’ down.

Cmaj7 D “I hope peace you have found.

Cmaj7 D “I’m really

Cmaj7 D ”sorry.”
