I am a young mariner headed to war

I'm thinkin' 'bout my family and what it was for

There's water on the wood and the sails feel good
CC Piano Chord 
        DmDm Piano Chord 

And when I get to shore I hope that I can kill good

My father was a sailor named Captain Kennedy
He lost his wooden schooner to the Germans on the sea
Exploded on the water for everyone for everyone to see
And humiliate that American Captain Kennedy

I saw him in Nassau in ninteen seventy one

              DmDm Piano Chord 

His strength was failin' but he still ran a run
FF Piano Chord 
                   DmDm Piano Chord 

He worked 'til his fingers wore to the bone
CC Piano Chord 
           DmDm Piano Chord 

To buy that wooden schooner and sail on his own

He was known in the islands as hundred foot iron
That steel hull freighter was passin' its time
And time flew by faster with life on the sea
And the days grew shorter for Captain Kennedy

I am a young mariner headed to war
I'm thinkin' 'bout my family and what it was for
There's water on the wood and the sails feel good
And when I get to shore I hope that I can kill good
