Dm                   C         Dm
I am a young mariner headed to war
                                 F           Dm
Iʼm thinkinʼ ʼbout my family and what it was for
                         F                       Dm
Thereʼs 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 failinʼ but he still ran a run
                   F                   Dm
He worked ʼtil 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 passinʼ 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
Iʼm thinkinʼ ʼbout my family and what it was for
Thereʼs water on the wood and the sails feel good
And when I get to shore I hope that I can kill good
