VERSE 1
Oh [C] Captain, won’t you lead me back to [C] shore? [C] Oh [C] Captain, I saw things [G / ] today [F / ] I’ve never [F / ] seen be[C / ]fore. [C]


Oh [C] Captain, oh Captain, [G / F / ] please don’t let me [C] drown. [C] Oh [C] Captain, teach my [G] heart the way to be [C] found. [C]


INTERLUDE
[C] [G / F / ] [C] [C]
[C] [G] [C] [C]


VERSE 2
Oh [C] Darling, [C] I want to live up to [C] be [C] the [C] ship that you once [G / ] chartered for your [ / F] voyage to [C] sea. [C]


Oh [C] darling, I was lost in the [G / ]  darkness and the [F / ] beacon of hope was [C / ] gone— [C] ex[C]tinguished by storms that beat [G] down on my soul for too [C] long. [C]


CHORUS
No, I won’t be a[C / ]fraid [F / ] of [C] change, it keeps me a[C / ]live, [F / ] keeps me [C] sane.


No, I won’t be a[C / ]fraid [F / ] of [C] change, it keeps me a[C / ]li[G / ] [C]ive, it keeps me a[C / ]li[G / ] [C]ive, it [G]keeps me a[C]live. [C]


INTERLUDE
[C] [C] [C] [C]
[C] [G / F / ] [C] [C]


VERSE 3
Oh [C] Captain, [C] I abandoned the [C] ship, [C] but [C] Captain, my heart feels [G / ] so a[F / ]live a[C]gain. [C]


I [C] can’t lie, I can’t lie, I [G] can’t lie, [F] to my[F]self any[C]more. So I’m [C] leaving this harbor called [G] safety and I’m scared to the [C] core. [C]


CHORUS


FINE (least measure of chorus)
[C / G C]
