Captain William Kidd by Roy Mette
Captain William Kidd
Bm | A | G | F#m | Em | F#m | Dmaj7 F# F#m | Bm x2
Bm A
On the point of Tilbury Town
G F#m
There's an awful creaking sound
Em F#m
as the breezes jig with Captain Kidd
Dmaj7 F# F#m Bm
hung 10 feet from the ground
Bm A
And the rats all along the dock
G F#m
keep a weather eye because
Em F#m
It's been some years they've end him here
Dmaj7 F# F#m Bm
and bits sometimes come off
Dmaj7 A
It's a long way from the tropics
G F#m
That was Captain Kidd's playground
Em F#m
Now he's turning microscopic
G F# Bm
As the weather wears him down
Bm | A | G | F#m | Em | F#m | Dmaj7 F# F#m | Bm
Bm A
He no longer sees the tide
G F#m
From the cage where he resides
Em F#m
And he never speaks, but gently creaks
Dmaj7 F# F#m Bm
But he doesn't seem to mind
Bm A
As the shipping passes by
G F#m
He could have heard the Sea Dogs sigh
Em F#m
If he hadn't choked on a length of rope
Dmaj7 F# F#m Bm
And they hadn't hung him twice
Dmaj7 A
It's a long way from the tropics
G F#m
That was Captain Kidd's playground
Em F#m
He's no longer such a topic
G F# Bm
In the taverns of the town
Bm | A | G | F#m | Em | F#m | Dmaj7 F# F#m | Bm
Bm A
As the tides all ebb and flow
G F#m
There's a wind blows up his nose
Em F#m
And out his ears to disappear
Dmaj7 F# F#m Bm
In a fluttering of snow
Bm A
Though time may rot his bones
G F#m
And he whistles and he moans
Em F#m
He never seems to notice
Dmaj7 F# F#m Bm
Captain Kidd, his own
Dmaj7 A
It's a long way from the tropics
G F#m
That was Captain Kidd's playground
Em F#m
He's no longer such a topic
G F# Bm
On the streets of Tilbury Town
Bm | A | G | F#m | Em | F#m | Dmaj7 F# F#m | Bm
Bm A
On the point of Tilbury Town
G F#m
There's an awful creaking sound
Em F#m
as the breezes jig with Captain Kidd
Dmaj7 F# F#m Bm
And bits fall to the ground
Bm | A | G | F#m | Em | F#m | D F# F#m | Bm
