[Intro]
G
[Verse]
EGver see someone do Amso well
TGhat none could ever Dstop himDsus4
CGommanding o'er the Amhardest swell
WGith no force or fault to tDop him Dsus4
[Verse]
WGell, under all and Amevery word
IGs hidden a woman orF man
WGho lights and inspires some hAmigher desires
AGnd allows him to Ddo what he cCan
[Chorus]
WChat power he has Gonly I know
ADnd now I have let my captain Ggo
[Verse]
GI was his true and he Ammade my fortune
GAnd he leapt from on top of my Dshoulder Dsus4
GHe could lead pure when my wAmorship was pure
GAnd many times even sDtep bolderDsus4
[Verse]
GHe loved me and needed, saw tAmrouble and greeted
GFor trouble is best met head Fon
GWhat seems so distinguished became pAmlainly vanquished
GWhen I left to find lDife on my oCwn
[Chorus]
WChat power he has oGnly I know
DAnd now I have let my captain gGo
[Verse]
GNow men laugh at hAmim and say
GThat better men number in tDhousandsDsus4
GNobody ever goes Amout of his way
GTo lessen his clowns as they Dcrowd him Dsus4
[Verse]
GAnd I am nearby and I wAmatch with a sigh
GAs my captain curls up like a cFripple
GAnd hope that he goes where Amnobody knows
GUnder sea and leaves nDot a riCpple
[Chorus]
CWhat power he has oGnly I know
DAnd now I have let my captain gGo
