It is rare that such a request receives no replies at all. The lyrics will do without the chords if necessary. I should be able to work them out myself. |

I have watched that video, but was hoping to find the lyrics and possibly the chords written out as transcribing from a record even when it is by someone as good as Roger Whittaker, it is not always clear what some of the lyrics are. |

24 Apr 19 - 10:40 AM (#3988943) Subject: Lyr Add: SONG FOR THE CAPTAIN (Parker & Hansell) From: maeve SONG FOR THE CAPTAIN Words and music by K.A. Parker and Jon Hansell As sung by Roger Whittaker When I was young I’d sit on his knee He’d fill me up with his tales of the sea We’d go out sailing on crystal-lit oceans Riding the tides and the foam Follow the sunset to far foreign places Sometimes we’d never come home From the sea. Time after time he’d take me along Aboard the dreams, he went sailing on. Riding the rhythms of tidewater canyons Racing the raw morning air Watching the pirate ships on the horizon The wind blowing soft through my hair From the sea. Now I am grown. He’s gone away Borne on the breeze that sweeps through the bay. Still, I remember the stories he told me Of sailors and whalers long dead. Closing my eyes now, I see them before me Sailing the ship in my head To the sea. To the sea, To the sea. |
