Am
[Verse 1]
Am Em
Oh my captain, Oh my captain
F C
I've been working hard for you
F C
Trying to make you love me too
F C G
Doing all that I can do for my captain
Am C
Oh my captain, open your eyes
F C
See the rebel on the stairs
F C
And are there roamers everywhere
F C G
And how it seems that no one cares for my captain
[Chorus1]
G7 C F
Tell me now what is going on
G C F
See the ground that I'm standing on
Em F
How it crumbles at my feet
Em C
As we dance you remind me
[Verse 2]
Am Em
Oh my captain, Oh my captain
F C
I've remembered every song
F C
And now I've learned to sing them all
F C G
Still I wonder what is wrong with my captain
Am C
Oh my captain, hold on to me
F C
Tell me why you let me go
F C
And why the anchor man needs rope
F C G
Already half way off the boat for my captain
[Chorus2]
G7 C F
Tell me now what is going on
G C F
See the tower that I'm coming from
Em F
How it shakes beneath my feet
Em C
As we fall you remind me
[Instrumental]
Am Em Esus4 Em Esus4 Bb F C Am F G
[Chorus3]
G7 C F
Tell me now what is going on
G C F
See the tower that I'm calling from
Em F
How it breaks beneath my feet
Em C
As we fly it reminds me
[Outro]
Am C
Oh my captain, Oh my captain
F C
Now it's time for me to part
F C
To rip the needle from my heart
F C G C
We were so wrong from the start oh my captain
