Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Stardate 42695.3 was a pretty big day for me

I was given my first command

 But it turned out to be more difficult then I'd planned

 So I went to Riker and said "What if I fail?

What if I freeze up with a Borg on our tail?

What if the choice I make is wrong?"

 And Riker said to me "Wesley, give me break

 It's arrogant to think you'll never make a mistake

 But when you're in that position

 You only have to ask yourself one question"

 Oh, what would Captain Picard do?

 Oh, what would Captain Picard do?

 He'd ensure the safety of his ship and his crew

 And then complete the mission

 And make himself a better person

 Bring peace to the galaxy

 And do it for free

 Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do

 Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do

 I just woke up after three centuries

 And my first thought was of money

 Not that my family was gone

 But this bald guy in a jumpsuit said to me

 That they'd abolished currency

Everything I'd worked for was gone

 Yeah, there was nothing to withdraw

 I said to him "What do you invest in

 If you don't have big corporations?"

He said "We invest in ourselves"

 And maybe I should try that out for myself

 Because that's what Captain Picard would do

 Yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do

 He'd ensure the safety of his ship and his crew

 And then complete the mission

 And make himself a better person

 Bring peace to the galaxy

 And he'd do it for free

 Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do

 Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do

 Remember when he told us to remove the saucer section

 Even though we were at warp nine, there was no objection

 And yeah we could have killed the Borg using Hugh

 But we agreed with the Captain it was the wrong thing to do

 And I'd rather follow Dixon Hill, Private Detective

 Than observe some outmoded and obscure prime directive

 And even after he was tortured for forty days and nights

 He told that Cardassian that there were still four lights

 And yeah when you're confused and the choice is too hard

 Just think of Captain Picard

 Just think of Captain Picard

 Think what would Captain Picard do?

 Yeah, what would Captain Picard do?

 He'd save the galaxy

 And he'd do it for free

 He'd protect the whole world

 And he'd still get the girl

 And he'd save the federation

 And earn the Klingon's admiration

 Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do

 Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do
