- CAPTAIN KENNEDY
-
- Capo 3rd fret!
-
- Dm
- Dm C Dm
- I am a young mariner headed to war
- F Dm
- I'm thinkin' 'bout my family and what it was for
- F Dm
- There's water on the wood and the sails feel good
- C Dm
- 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
-
- Dm C Dm
- I saw him in Nassau in ninteen seventy one
- F Dm
- His strength was failin' but he still ran a run
- F Dm
- He worked 'til his fingers wore to the bone
- C Dm
- 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
