Biography:
David Archibald played his first guitar in Spain, and you can still find the warmth of the Andalusian sunshine in his music. His work on Great Lakes marine heritage Spirit of the Inland Sea has been featured at National and Provincial Parks as well as the Blyth Festival. He was invited to give a workshop on traditional music of the Great Lakes at the North American Folk Alliance Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.
Parks have also commissioned David to write and record collections on their natural and cultural history.

[Intro]
E E/D# D A
E E/D# D A
E E/D# D A
Captain John, oh captain! Captain John Munroe!
E E/D# D A
Won't you tell me captain, your dreams of long ago?
F#m E D E/A
Out beyond the break wall, her silver sails would shine
F#m A B
I swore one day that schooner would be mine
E E/D# D A
Captain John, oh captain! Captain John Munroe!
E E/D# D A
Won't you tell me captain, your triumphs and your woes?
F#m E D E/A
I bought that stately sailing ship, Leazof was her name
F#m A B
But all that pride and joy, she brought such pain
E E/D# D A
Captain John, oh captain! Captain John Munroe!
E E/D# D A
Won't you tell me captain, where did your young boy go?
F#m E D E/A
My Jimmy was beside me when the sea began to rise
F#m A B
And swept him overboard before my eyes
E E/D# D A
Captain John, oh captain! Captain John Munroe!
E E/D# D A
Won't you tell me captain, where did your nephews go?
F#m E D E/A
They fought the heavy current as our ship they tried to save
F#m A B
And now the St. Clair River is their grave
E E/D# D A
Captain John, oh captain! Captain John Munroe!
E E/D# D A
Won't you tell me captain, how it felt when she was sold?
F#m E D E/A
I turned my hand to farming, sewing seeds and splitting rails
F#m A/G# A B
But it's nothing like the wind inside a schooner's mighty sails
E E/D# D A
Captain John, oh captain! Captain John Munroe!
E E/D# D A
Won't you tell me captain, how she came to rest below?
F#m E D E/A
Heavy wind off Saginaw, the cargo shifted fast
F#m A B
The crew escaped, the ship was free at last
E E/D# D A
Captain John, oh captain! Captain John Munroe!
E E/D# D A
Won't you tell me captain, how she found McGregor's shoal?
F#m E D E/A
Didn't warn a Yankee grave, the minute she was free
F#m A/G# A E
Leazof headed home again to me
E E/D# D A
E E/D# D A
E E/D# D A
E E/D# D A
Repeat and fade
