Verse

  D                  C         D
I am a young mariner headed to war
                                 F           D
I'm thinkin' 'bout my family and what it was for
        D            F                       D
There's water on the wood and the sails feel good
                                    C          D
And when I get to shore I hope that I can kill good

Verse

   D                         C            D
My father was a sailor named Captain Kennedy
                                   F              D
He lost his wooden schooner to the Germans on the sea
  D             F                                  D
Exploded on the water for everyone for everyone to see
                            C       D
And humiliate that American Captain Kennedy

Verse

      D                C                D
I saw him in Nassau in nineteen seventy one
                                F           D
His strength was failin' but he still ran a run
                   F                   D
He worked 'til his fingers wore to the bone
                                C           D
To buy that wooden schooner and sail on his own

Verse

       D                       C            D
He was known in the islands as hundred foot iron
                              F           D
That steel hull freighter was passin' its time
                 F                       D
And time flew by faster with life on the sea
                              C       D
And the days grew shorter for Captain Kennedy

Verse

  D                  C         D
I am a young mariner headed to war
                                 F           D
I'm thinkin' 'bout my family and what it was for
        D            F                       D
There's water on the wood and the sails feel good
                                    C          D
And when I get to shore I hope that I can kill good
