    Now the acoustic immediately jumps in with this chord progression:
  •  
    ACOUSTIC
    D Cadd9
  • e|--2------------3-----|
    B|--3------------3-----|
    G|--2------------0-----| REPEAT the chords
  • D|--0------------2-----|
    A|--0------------3-----|
    E|---------------------|
  •  
    Then Electric JOINS the Acoustic by playing the same chords, D and Cadd9.
    But, the Electric uses Wah-Wah. They play D & Cadd9 twice, like above.
  •  
    The Electric drops out and the Acoustic plays. During the second time this
    is played, the lyrics come in, "Ev'rybody listen to me...".
  •  
    ACOUSTIC
    D Dsus2 D Cadd9
  • e|--2---2-0---2--3---3---3--3--3---| This is played about 11 times.
    B|--3---3-3---3--3---3---3--3--3---| When the lyrics get to "I've been
    G|--2---2------------0---0--0--0---| lost now days uncounted...." this
  • D|--0----------------2---2--2--2---| chord progression is played by both
    A|--0----------------3---3--3--3---| guitars about 25 times. But, keep
    E|---------------------------------| the Electric's volume down.
  •  
    There are two verses with the chords above. One starts with "I've been
    lost now..." and the other with "If you return me to my home port...".
  • I think that you play the chord progression above about 9 times for EACH
    verse and then an additional 8 times with no singing.
     
  • Now there is the key change Dm Bb F A
    and the bass plays 2 measures e|--1--|-(3)-|--1--|--0--|
    of that cool part with no B|--3--|--3--|--1--|--2--|
  • other guitars. Then these G|--2--|--3--|--2--|--2--|
    chords are played: D|--0--|--3--|--3--|--2--|
    A|--0--|--1--|--3--|--0--|
  • E|-----|-----|--1--|-----|
     
    It goes like this:
  • Dm Bb Dm Bb Dm
    1. Am I in my cabin dreaming, or are you really scheming,
    2. You'd better think about it. I just can't live without it.
  • Bb F A A
    to take my ship away from me?
    So please don't take my ship from me.
  •  
    Then the Acoustic plays D and Cadd9 (just sustaining the chords, not
    strumming) twice, like after the lead in the beginning.
  • After that the Electric comes in playing the same thing, but with Wah-Wah,
    playing those same chords twice.
    And then back to the D Dsus2 D Cadd9 strumming pattern for about 24 times.
  • During this the lyrics go "I can feel the hand, of a stranger...".
     
    Now the guitars play these two chords:
  • D Csus2 D F6/C
    e|--2--|--3--| REPEAT the chords e|--2--|--10--|
    B|--3--|--3--| 5 times B|--3--|--10--|
  • G|--2--|--5--| G|--2--|--10--|
    D|--0--|--5--| D|--0--|--10--|
    A|--0--|--3--| Then play this A|--0--|------|
  • E|-----|-----| once: E|-----|------|
     
    Now, for the cool guitar part.
  • In this part the Acoustic sustains chords while the Electric plays a
    lead-type riff. This is the main riff:
    D D D
  • e|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
    B|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
    G|----------7----7-----------------------7---7-------7------------7-------|
  • D|--------7-9----7-----------------------7---7-------7--9--7------7-------|
    A|-(5)*---------------9---9\7---5---7-9----------9------------9-------9---|
    E|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
  • *Play cue note on repeats
    Csus2 Csus2 Csus2
    e|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
  • B|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
    G|----5---5------------------------------5---5----------------------------|
    D|--5-7---5----------------------------5-7---5----------------------------|
  • A|-----------7\5---3-----5-5-5-3-----------------7\5---3-----5-5-5-3------|
    E|-------------------------------5-----------------------------------5----|
     
  • Play this about 4 times, but the 3rd and 4th times Acoustic substitutes
    this:
     
  • e|------5--5--5-------------5--5--5----------|
    B|------7--7--7-------------7--7--7----------|
    G|------7--7--7-------------7--7--7----------|
  • D|--7-------------7--7--7-------------7--7---|
    A|--5-------------5--5--5-------------5--5---|
    E|-------------------------------------------|

    e|------3--3--3-------------3--3--3----------|
    B|------3--3--3-------------3--3--3----------|

    D|--5-------------5--5--5-------------5--5---|
    A|--3-------------3--3--3-------------3--3---|
  • E|-------------------------------------------|
     
    For the rest of the time the Acoustic plays these chords with the Electric
  • playing this:
     
    Csus2
  • e|-----------------------------------|------------------------------------|

    Repeat as needed.
     
  • Here are the lyrics:
     
    Everybody, listen to me,
  • And return me, my ship.
    I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
    Although I'm feeling mighty sick.
  •  
    I've been lost now, days uncounted,
    And it's months since I've seen home.
  • Can you hear me, can you hear me,
    Or am I all alone.
     
  • If you return me, to my home port,
    I will kiss you mother earth.
    Take me back now, take me back now,
  • To the port of my birth.
     
    Am I in my cabin dreaming, or are you really scheming,
  • To take my ship away from me?
     
    You'd better think about it, I just can't live without it.
  • So, please don't take my ship from me.
    Yeah, yeah, yeah ...
     
  • I can feel the hand, of a stranger,
    And it's tightening, around my throat.
    Heaven help me, Heaven help me,
  • Take this stranger from my boat.
     
    I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
  • Although I'm feeling mighty sick.
    Everybody, listen to me,
    And return me, my ship.
  •  
    I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. (x 4)
     
  • I'm getting closer to my home ... (x 4)
    Ohhhh ...
     
  • I'm getting closer to my home ... (x 4)
    Repeated to fade
  • PLAY TOO ..
