	Dm	C	Dm
	I am a young mariner	headed to	war

	F	Dm
I'm thinkin' 'bout my family and	what it was	for

	F	Dm
There's water on the wood	and the sails feel good

	C	Dm
And when I get to shore I hope that I	can kill	good

My father was a sailor named Captain Kennedy

He lost his wooden schooner to the Germans on the sea

Exploded on the water for everyone for everyone to see

And humiliate that American Captain Kennedy

	Dm	C	Dm
	I saw him in Nassau in	ninteen seventy one

	F	Dm
His strength was failin' but he	still ran a run

	F	Dm
He worked 'til his	fingers wore to the	bone

	C	Dm
To buy that wooden schooner and	sail on his	own

He was known in the islands as hundred foot iron

That steel hull freighter was passin' its time

And time flew by faster with life on the sea

And the days grew shorter for Captain Kennedy

I am a young mariner headed to war

I'm thinkin' 'bout my family and what it was for

There's water on the wood and the sails feel good

And when I get to shore I hope that I can kill good
