Everybody, listen to me

And return me my ship

I^Òm your captain, I^Òm your captain

Though I^Òm feeling mighty sick

I^Òve been lost now, days uncounted

And it^Òs months since I^Òve seen home

Can you hear me? Can you hear me?

Poor am I, all alone

If you return me to my home port

I will kiss you mother earth

Take me back now, take me back now

To the port of my birth

Am [Dm]I in my cab[Bb]in dream[Dm]ing

Or are you really scheming

To take my ship away from [F]me?[A]

You better [Bb]think about it[Dm]

I just can^Òt live without it

So please don^Òt [Bb]take my ship from[F] me[A]

{c: [D] [G] [D] [G] (4 times)}

Yeah yeah yeah

{c: Succession of D Dm9 Dsus D Dm9 C D}

I can feel the hand of a stranger

And it^Òs tied me around my throat

Heaven help me, heaven help me

Take this stranger off my boat

I^Òm your captain, I^Òm your captain

Though I^Òm feeling mighty sick

Everybody, listen to me

And return me me ship

I^Òm your captain, yeah, yeah yeah

I^Òm getting closer to my home (27 times till fade)
