  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
