E B G#m A x2
[Verse 1]
C#m B
I left my captain's hat at home
G#m A
There's no pirates I can dodge or islands to explore
C#m B
Just some plain folks who don't mind
G#m A
The sound of screaming children and drinking too much vodka the line
C#m A C#m
And oh-oh-oh I sing
[Chorus]
C#m B F#m
No way to change what's been said and done
C#m B A C#m F#m
I've set my own course and I'll try to carry on

C#m B
On my days off from my ship
G#m
I sail the windy streets of Stockholm
A
Captain of the great ?
C#m B
It's first breakfast with the king
G#m A
Recount the month's adventures and divvy up the treasures that I bring
A
But oh I sing
[Chorus]
C#m B F#m A
No way to change what's been said and done
C#m B F#m A
I've set my own course and I'll try to carry on
C#m B F#m A
So back and forth I go on this Baltic sea
C#m B F#m C#m F#m G#m
Waiting for a whale to come and rescue me hey, hey
G#m
and I hear them sing:
C#m G#m B F#m
Oh----oh----oh let's all toast to the ones we love
