Chords for Captain Jim's Drunken Dream by James Taylor

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now you country fools in your one horse town can laugh at me
It's plain as rain that you've never [G] been down to the [D] Southern Sea
[Em] To see me now is like watching a fish on dry land
I only wish you could see me [F] down in the [C] island _
Mister, [G] that's my home, [F] what a fool I [C] was to leave the [Am] only happiness I know
[G] _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ [G] You see me [Em] coming, you wink your [G] eye and call me Captain Jim
And [G] when I don't do [Em] nothing but to walk on [G] by you say, babe, get a load of him
_ All I need is the sea and the sky and I know where I stand
Instead of you hicks [Em] straight out of the sticks [F]
deciding I ain't [C] a man
You'll never [G] understand, [F] up here I'm [C] just a whiskey bum, [Am] but down there [D] I'm a king
[F] It sounds just [C] like the angels up [Am] in heaven when [D] they sing
[G] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ Let me hear it, [G]
such a [Em] sight to see
[F] Instead of some [C] Salvation [Am] Army sister singing [G] nearer, my God, to thee
_ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ [G] Now I know that the [Em] Yankee whiskey is taking away my mind
[G] And I know that [Em] rum is the only drink suitable to mankind
[G] And I know that this [Em] tree I'm under [G] is shaped [Em] entirely wrong
[G] I need to [Em] see a gentle palm [F] tree and I won't [C] wait too long
I can feel that it's [G] coming on strong
[F] The first cold [C] in the winter [Am] is flapping [D] in my clothes
[F]
Showing [C] me the way [Am] with the direction [D] that it blows
Welcome _ [Em] home, [G] welcome home
[Em] Let it blow!
Welcome home, [G] welcome home
[Em] _ [G] Welcome [Em] home, _ [G] _ _ [Em] _ _ [G]
it's such [Em] a sight to see
[F] And not some [C] sad Salvation [Am] Army sister singing nearer, [G] my God, to thee
[Em] _ _ _
_ Let [G] me hear it, let it all ring _ _
_ _ Welcome _ home, welcome home
_ Welcome home, _ yeah, _ welcome home _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ [Em] _ _
