Ev'ry bo-dy, list-en to me, and re-turn me, my
  7   -6    7   8   8     8   -8   7  -6
ship. I'm your cap-tain, I'm your cap-tain,
-6   -6    7    8   8    8  -8   7     -6   7
al-though I'm feel-ing might-y sick.  I've been 
 8    8     8  -8   7   -6  -6   7     8
lost now, days un-count-ed, and it's months
  8     8   -8    7   -6   7    8   8   8  -8
since I've seen home. Can you hear me? Can you
  7  -6 -6 7  8 8  8 -8   7   -6  7   8   8  8
hear me? O-r am I all a-lone. If you re-turn me,
 8 -8   7   -6  -6  7     8   8     8  -8   7
to my home port, I will kiss you, moth-er earth.
 -6   7   8   8     8  -8   7  -6   -6  7
Take me back now, take me back now, to the
 8    8 8 -8   7   -6 -6 -7  7 -8  7    -7  -6
port of m-y  birth. Am I in my ca-bin dream-ing?
-6  -7  7   -8   7   -7  -6   -6  -7   7  7
Or are you real-ly schem-ing? To take my ship
7 -7   -6  6    -6   -6  -7    7   7  -7  -6
a-way from me. You'd bet-ter think a-bout it.
-6 -7    7    -8   7   -7  -6  -6   -7     7
I just can't live with-out it. So please don't
  7   7  -7   -6  6 5 6 -6     7    -7    -6
take my ship from m------e.  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
7  7    8   8     8  8 -8    7   -6  -6   7
I can feel the, hand of a strang-er, and it's
  8    8      8   -8    7    -6   7    8   8
tight'ning, round my throat. Hea-ven help me,
 8  -8    7  -6   -6    7     8    8    8  -8
hea-ven help me. Take this strang-er, from my
 7     -6   7   8    8    8   -8    7  -6
boat. I'm your cap-tain, I'm your cap-tain.
-6   -6    7    8   8    8  -8   7   -6   7
Al-though I'm feel-ing might-y sick. Ev-'ry 
 8  8   8  -8   7 -6  -6   7   8   8  8 -8  7
bo-dy, lis-ten to me, and re-turn me, m-y  ship.
