Captain Jim's Drunken Dream
Words and Music by James Taylor
(c) 1976, 1980 Country Road Music
Now you Gcountry fools in your Em7one-horse town, you can Glaugh at me Em7
It's Gplain as rain that you've Em7never been down to the Gsouthern sea Em7
To Gsee me now is like Em7watching a fish on Gdry land Em7
I Gonly wish you could Em7see me down in the F/Cis- Clands
CMister, tDhat's my Ghome
What a Ffool I was to Cleave the only Am7happiness I've C/Dknown. G Em7 G Em7
You see Gme comin', you wink yoEm7ur eye and call me CaptaGin Jim Em7
And when I Gdon't do nothin' but to Em7walk on by you say,
G "Baby get a lEm7oad of him."
GAll I need is the Em7sea and the sky and GI know where I Em7stand
inGstead of you hicks straight Em7out of the sticks dF/Ceciding I ain't a Cman
CYou'll neDver understand; G
Up Fhere I'm just a Cwhiskey bum but Am7down there I'm a Dking
It Fsounds just like the Cangels up in heaAm7ven when they Dsus4sing:
D7"WelGcome Em7home, G welcomeEm7 home.&Gquot; -- Such aEm7 sight to see
insFtead of some SalvCation G/BArmy Am7sister singin'
&C/Dquot;Nearer My GoGd to TEm7hee.G&qEm7uot;
Now I Gknow that the Yankee wEm7hiskey is Gtakin' away my Em7mind
and I Gknow that run is the Em7only drink Gsuitable to man-Em7kind
And I Gknow that this tree I'm Em7under is Gshaped entirely wrEm7ong
I Gneed to see a gEm7entle palm tree andF/C I won't wait too Clong
I can fCeel that it's Dcomin' on sGtrong
The Ffirst cold wind of Cwinter is Am7flappin' in my Dclothes
FShowin' me the Cway with the dirAm7ection that it C/Dblows.
Welcome Ghome, Em welcome homGe, let it Em7blow. [repeat and fade]
