[Verse 1]

Round robin ro

und
        
We were all hy

pnotized by th

e sound
       
Of the tales f

rom the old co

untry
             
Told for a pin

         
t and a pound



Stories of bat

tles at sea
        
From a voice t

hat could shak

e down the tre

es
         
And the face o

f an angel
             
All battered b

            
y grand traged

y


[Chorus]
           
Raise your gla

          
ss in the air
            
With a tear in

       
 your eye
           
Time has come 

            
now to bid him

      
 goodbye
            
For at first l

          
ight this morn
            
The old captai

       
n has died
            
Let him live o

             
n in legend to

 
night


[Verse 2]
   
No soul shared

 his name
        
And he sought 

neither fortun

e nor fame
         
But this old d

usty tavern
             
Is kingdom o'e

              
r with he woul

  
d reign


       
Not a chapter 

in life he for

got
        
And the truth 

of it all matt

ered not
            
For adventure 

              
and grandeur a

    
nd rapture
              
We'd feast on 

    
the lot


[Chorus]
            
Raise your gla

         
ss in the air
           
With a tear in

      
 your eye
           
Time has come 

            
now to bid him

      
 goodbye
            
For at first l

          
ight this morn
            
The old captai

       
n has died
            
Let him live o

             
n in legend to

  
night


           
Now the stars 

             
will shine bri


ghtly
           
No more in the

 
 sky
           
They have lost

            
 their best sa

         
ilor to guide
They've lost their best sailor to guide
            
For at first l

          
ight this morn
            
The old captai

       
n has died
            
Let him live o

             
n in legend to

 
night
