CAPTAIN KENNEDY
Capo 3rd fret!
Dm
DmI am a young mariner Cheaded to Dmwar
I'm thinkin' 'bout my family and Fwhat it was Dmfor
There's water on the woodF and the sails feel goodDm
And when I get to shore I hope that I Ccan kill Dmgood
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
DmI saw him in Nassau in Cninteen seventy oneDm
His strength was failin' but he Fstill ran a runDm
He worked 'til his Ffingers wore to the Dmbone
To buy that wooden schooner and Csail on his Dmown
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
