 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
