Intro - repeat a few times
A Asus2
A Bm
Ever see someone do so well
A E Esus4
That none could ever stop him
A Bm
Commanding o'er the hardest swell
A E Esus4
With no force or fault to top him
A Bm
Well, under all and every word
A G
Is hidden a woman or man
A Bm
Who lights and inspires some higher desires
A E D
And allows him to do what he can
D A
What power he has only I know
E A
And now I have let my captain go

I was his true and he bade my fortune

And he leapt from on top of my shoulder

He could lead pure when my worship was sure

And many times even step bolder

He loved me and needed, saw trouble and greeted

For trouble is best met head on

What seems so distinguished became plainly vanquished

When I left to find life on my own
