Neil Young - Captain Kennedy Chords

[Verse 1]
D7                   C         D7
I am a young mariner headed to war
                                 F           D7
I'm thinkin' 'bout my family and what it was for
                         F                       D7
There's water on the wood and the sails feel good
                                      C        D7
And when I get to shore I hope that I can kill good
 
 
[Verse 2]
D7                            C          D7
My father was a sailor named Captain Kennedy
D7                             F                 D7
He lost his wooden schooner to the Germans on the sea
                                F                 D7
Exploded on the water for everyone for everyone to see
                              C           D7
And humiliate that American Captain Kennedy
 
 
[Verse 3]
Dm                     C                  D7
I saw him in Nassau in ninteen seventy one
                                F              D7
His strength was failin' but he still ran a run
                   F                   D7
He worked 'til his fingers wore to the bone
                                C           Dm
To buy that wooden schooner and sail on his own
 
 
[Verse 4]
D7                             C           D7
He was known in the islands as hundred foot iron
                                 F          D7
That steel hull freighter was passin' its time
                               F           D7
And time flew by faster with life on the sea
                                C           D7
And the days grew shorter for Captain Kennedy
 
 
[Verse 5]
D7                    C         D7
I am a young mariner headed to war
                                  F          D7
I'm thinkin' 'bout my family and what it was for
                                  F           D7
There's water on the wood and the sails feel good
                                    C
And when I get to shore I hope that I can kill good
