Captain Kennedy Chords

Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Dm

DmI am a young mariner Cheaded to Dmwar

 I'm thinkin' 'bout my family and Fwhat it was Dmfor

 There's water on the woodF and the sails feel goodDm

 And when I get to shore I hope that I Ccan kill Dmgood

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

DmI saw him in Nassau in Cninteen seventy oneDm

 His strength was failin' but he Fstill ran a runDm

 He worked 'til his Ffingers wore to the Dmbone

 To buy that wooden schooner and Csail on his Dmown

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
