Capo on the 4th fret
When playing, keep the high e string open during the entire song.
When he was a Cboy
he wanted to pE7lay
Amdown by the sF/Cea
At age thirtCeen
everyday after sE7chool
Amhe would always F/Csail around the lake
CAll the people would stand and stare
as he saE7iled around with precision and care
With his Cbi-corner hat and the way he would stand
he lE7ooked just like a Navy man
AmAll the townsfolk would gather and saF/Cy, and sing away
CCaptain Albert AleF/Cxander
He'll be a bGrave seafarer someF/Cday
But that CCaptain Albert AF/Clexander
GHe'll go down in the F/Cwaves
By age twenty four
he had left the shore
and was sailing for the Queen
On a dark starry night
Albert awoke to the sound
of his Captain screaming as he was drowned
The Navy crew was taking a lick
pirates had invaded the ship
But Albert with one aimed harpoon
ignited their rum with a spark and soon
flames drove the pirates away
the Navy sang
Captain Albert Alexander
Saved his crew from pirate slaughter
But that Captain Albert Alexander
He'll go down in the water
Now everyone dance
Dance. Dance.
Twenty some odd years later
On his ship The Sea Slater
He sailed into a mass of blubber
Gazing up to the sky
stood a large walrus
that was a hundred stories high, it meant no harm
The walrus was in a great deal of pain
It suffered from a tusk with tooth decay
Albert threw his anchor 'round it's tusk
with a little bit of pulling it was out by dusk
The walrus thanked Albert and sang, as he sailed away
Captain Albert Alexander
Friend to sea urchin and me
But that Captain Albert Alexander
He'll go down in the sea
At a rE7ipe old age lightning Amstruck from the sky
and sE7plit Albert's vessel inAm two
One hE7undred men fleAmd for their lives
on raE7fts across the oceanAm blue
AmAlbert stood at the sF/Ctern of his ship
A gAmiant octopus had F/Chim in it's grip
A vAmortex of spiraling dF/Ceath below ripped
andAm sharks and electric eels aF/Cll made the trip
to see AmAlbert
Csink to the bottom of the F/Csea
AmJust before he went F/Cdown
Amhe called out to hisF/C crew
AmIt's obvious that my F/Ctime has come
I'll lAmet this ending eF/Cnsue
I've lAmed an exciting nautical lF/Cife it would seem
and there's Amno better end than a F/Cdeath by the sea
His crew sang
Captain Albert Alexander
He went down in the sea
But that Captain Albert Alexander
He'll go down in history
That Captain Albert Alexander
He went down in the sea
