Intro
Oh-oh
Jah bless the captain
Mm-hmm
Verse 1
From a Yorkshire stage he learned to stand
Bald and brave with a steady hand
He took the helm when the stars went cold
A Shakespeare line for the young and old
Pre-Chorus
Every voyage ends somewhere
Every bridge must let him go
Chorus
Goodbye captain goodbye
Sail your ship across the sky
Goodbye captain goodbye
We will raise our voices high
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh
Captain Captain
Oh-oh
Rise up rise up
Verse 2
Eight long years in the final chair
He steered the ship through the thinning air
Then he traded warp for a garden gate
Still he teaches us to stand up straight
Pre-Chorus
Every voyage ends somewhere
Every bridge must let him go
Chorus
Goodbye captain goodbye
Sail your ship across the sky
Goodbye captain goodbye
We will raise our voices high
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh
Captain Captain
Oh-oh
Rise up rise up
Bridge
Lift him up on a melody
Lift him up let the tabla roll
Lift him up for the life he gave
Lift him up for the soul he stole
Chorus
Goodbye captain goodbye
Sail your ship across the sky
Goodbye captain goodbye
We will raise our voices high
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh
Captain Captain
Oh-oh
Rise up rise up
