This_is_one_of_those_songs_that_is_impossible_to_sing_while_you_are_playing.
Although,_if_you_know_a_decent_bass_player,_then_this_song_is_great_to_play._
The_bass_part_to_this_song_is_great.__This_song_is_easy,_but_it_is_tiring.
You_play_the_same_chords_for_about_5_minutes.__There_is_a_combination_of_
acoustic_and_electric_guitars_in_this_song.__There_is_no_solo,_but_there_
is_a_small_lead_riff_for_the_electric_guitar_at_the_very_beginning,_and_it
is_not_tough_at_all.__There_is_also_a_part_where_the_electric_uses_a_WAH-WAH
pedal_along_with_the_chords.

Now_the_acoustic_immediately_jumps_in_with_this_chord_progression:

Then_Electric_JOINS_the_Acoustic_by_playing_the_same_chords,_D_and_Cadd9.
But,_the_Electric_uses_Wah-Wah.__They_play_D_&_Cadd9_twice,_like_above.
The_Electric_drops_out_and_the_Acoustic_plays.__During_the_second_time_this
is_played,_the_lyrics_come_in,_"Evrybody_listen_to_me...".__

There_are_two_verses_with_the_chords_above.__One_starts_with_"Ive_been_
lost_now..."_and_the_other_with_"If_you_return_me_to_my_home_port...".
I_think_that_you_play_the_chord_progression_above_about_9_times_for_EACH
verse_and_then_an_additional_8_times_with_no_singing.
Now_there_is_the_key_change_____________Dm____Bb____F_____A______

____2._Youd_better_think_about_it._____I_just_cant_live_without_it.

____Bb _F ___A _____________A

So_please_dont_take_my_ship_from_me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------_
Then_the_Acoustic_plays_D_and_Cadd9_(just_sustaining_the_chords,_not
strumming)_twice,_like_after_the_lead_in_the_beginning.
After_that_the_Electric_comes_in_playing_the_same_thing,_but_with_Wah-Wah,_
playing_those_same_chords_twice.
And_then_back_to_the_D_Dsus2_D_Cadd9_strumming_pattern_for_about_24_times.
During_this_the_lyrics_go_"I_can_feel_the_hand,_of_a_stranger...".
Now_the_guitars_play_these_two_chords:
____D___Csus2 _______D____F6/C

Now,_for_the_cool_guitar_part.
In_this_part_the_Acoustic_sustains_chords_while_the_Electric_plays_a_
lead-type_riff.__This_is_the_main_riff:

Everybody,_listen_to_me,

Take_me_back_now,_take_me_back_now,
To_the_port_of_my_birth.
Am_I_in_my_cabin_dreaming,_or_are_you_really_scheming,
To_take_my_ship_away_from_me?
Youd_better_think_about_it,_I_just_cant_live_without_it.
So,_please_dont_take_my_ship_from_me.
Yeah,_yeah,_yeah_...
I_can_feel_the_hand,_of_a_stranger,
And_its_tightening,_around_my_throat.
Heaven_help_me,_Heaven_help_me,
Take_this_stranger_from_my_boat.
Im_your_captain,_Im_your_captain,
Although_Im_feeling_mighty_sick.
Everybody,_listen_to_me,
And_return_me,_my_ship.
Im_your_captain,_yeah,_yeah,_yeah,_yeah._(x_4)
