[Verse 1]
Gm
I was born in a dirty old seaport
F Gm
Raised just on water and bread
Gm
My father drank, my mother was a whore
F Gm
I always went hungry to bed
Gm
No work, no aim, but a burning heart
F Gm
And the wish to leave this place
Gm
I stood there lost right on the quay
F Gm
When a man came up to me
Gm
And he said:
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am
I'm a captain
C Dm
I see that you suffer, my friend
Am
Come with me we're gonna sail away
C Dm N.C.
Let me be your helping hand
[Chorus]
Gm F C
Get on board, get on board
Gm F C
The ship is put to sea tonight
Gm F C
Get on board, get on board
Eb
The anchor is weighed
F
So don't hesitate
[Interlude]
Gm C Gm C
[Verse 2]
Gm
I sailed around the world with him
F Gm
Got money and got fame
Gm
And when he died I got his boat
F Gm
And I took the captain's name
Gm
He told me what I'm living for
F Gm
And I want to act his way
Gm
I'm gonna talk to the people in town
F Gm
And I know what I've got to say:
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am
I'm a captain
C Dm
I see that you suffer, my friend
Am
Come with me we're gonna sail away
C Dm N.C.
Let me be your helping hand
[Chorus]
Gm F C
Get on board, get on board
Gm F C
The ship is put to sea tonight
Gm F C
Get on board, get on board
Eb
The anchor is weighed
F
So don't hesitate
Gm F C
Get on board, get on board
Gm F C
The ship is put to sea tonight
Gm F C
Get on board, get on board
Eb
The anchor is weighed
F
So don't hesitate
Gm F C
Get on board, get on board
Gm F C
The ship is put to sea tonight
Gm F C
Get on board, get on board
Eb
The anchor is weighed
F
So don't hesitate
Gm F C
Get on board, get on board
Gm F C
The ship is put to sea tonight
Gm F C
Get on board, get on board
Eb
The anchor is weighed
F
So don't hesitate
Gm F C
Get on board, get on board
