I am a young mariner [F#] headed to [E] war
I'm thinking about my family and what it was for
There's water [Em] on the wood [B] and the waves [E] feel good
And when [Em] I get to shore I hope that I [B] can [E] kill good
[Em]
[E]
My father was a sailor named Captain Kennedy
He lost his wooden [Em] schooner to the Germans on the [E] sea
Exploded on the water for everyone to see
And humiliate that American
[A] Captain [Em] Kennedy
[E]
I saw him in Nassau in [Bm] 1971
[E]
His strength was failing but he [B] still ran a run
He worked till his [B]
fingers wore to [E] the bone
To buy that wooden schooner and sail on his own
[Em]
[B] [E]
He was known in the islands as Hundred Foot Iron
That steel-hulled freighter [Em] was passing its [E] time
And time flew by faster with life on the [E]
sea
And the days grew shorter [B] for Captain [E] Kennedy
[Em]
[F#]
I am a young mariner headed to war
I'm thinking about my family and what [G] it was [E] for
There's water on the wood [G] and the waves [Em] feel good
And when I get [E] to shore I hope that [F#] I can [E] kill good
