Capo 3rd fret!
REm
REm DO REm
I am a young mariner headed to war
FA REm
I'm thinkin' 'bout my family and what it was for
FA REm
There's water on the wood and the sails feel good
DO REm
And when I get to shore I hope that I can kill good
My father was a sailor named Captain Kennedy
He lost his wooden schooner to the Germans on the sea
Exploded on the water for everyone for everyone to see
And humiliate that American Captain Kennedy
REm DO REm
I saw him in Nassau in ninteen seventy one
FA REm
His strength was failin' but he still ran a run
FA REm
He worked 'til his fingers wore to the bone
DO REm
To buy that wooden schooner and sail on his own
He was known in the islands as hundred foot iron
That steel hull freighter was passin' its time
And time flew by faster with life on the sea
And the days grew shorter for Captain Kennedy
I am a young mariner headed to war
I'm thinkin' 'bout my family and what it was for
There's water on the wood and the sails feel good
And when I get to shore I hope that I can kill good
