Captain Oh Captain

[Verso 1]
 
Am 
Of all of the islands, you were my favourite 
F 
You gave me your sand in ajar, and I savedit 
C 
When the waves hit your shore,I saw you get impatient 
G 
You sent them away; this is not a vacation 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
Am                           F 
With grace, she'll kill you, she'll leave scratches on your bones 
C                                        G 
She'll tell you what you need to hear to make you feel at home 
 


[Refrão]
 
Am 
"Captain, oh captain!" I cry as he's smoking 
F 
Says, "Baby in Rome, we must do like the Romans" 
C 
I'm hoping the ocean will heal what is broken 
G 
Captain, oh captain, please keep this boat floating 
G 
Captain, oh captain, please keep this boat floating 
 


[Verso 2]
 
Am 
Tell me you're disappointed like it'd hurt me 
F 
Darling, it's not the first time I've heard it 
C 
If I tell you you've hurt me, you don't decide if you didn't 
G 
You'll have to try harder to become a martyr 
 


[Refrão]
 
Am 
"Captain, oh captain!" I cry as he's smoking 
F 
Says, "Baby in Rome, we must do like the Romans" 
C 
I'm hoping the ocean will heal what is broken 
G 
Captain, oh captain, please keep this boat floating 
G                                                  G 
Captain, oh captain, please keep this boat floating
