Don’t Say Goodbye to the Captain
By Patrick Foy
Key of G

G                    D                                        G
From the beginning of his time till the 13th year
                        D                                      G
He’s been the captain of the vessel that brought us here
                C                                         G
With the help of his crew and some Buffett music stew
        A                                                 D
He plotted out a course that was oh so true

He gave his repeat with a bla bla beat
Pacing round the stage in his barefoot feet
He’s a Baritone don’t need a microphone
Making us aware of the news of the week

Chorus
G                             F                   C
Don’t you say goodbye to the Captain
                D                                             G
When you know he’s going to be right here
                            F             A                                         D
In mind and in spirit, cheers and laughs and some times tears
                            G             F                 C
Now don’t you say goodbye to the Captain
                        D                         G
Leaving us a little better than found
                                    F                 C
Please don’t say goodbye to the Captain
                        D                             G
Cause you know he’ll always be around

Break

So let’s continue the course that old man set
Full rudder charting forward we go
Keep cleaning the beach and helping the manatees
Party with the loved ones you know

With the help of the crew and some Buffett music stew
We can welcome on the new Captain with cheers
And his legacy will be easy to see
From the beginning past the 13th year

Chorus
G                             F                   C
Don’t you say goodbye to the Captain
                D                                             G
When you know he’s going to be right here
                            F             A                                         D
In mind and in spirit, cheers and laughs and some times tears
                            G             F                 C
Now don’t you say goodbye to the Captain
                        D                         G
Leaving us a little better than found
                                    F                 C
Please don’t say goodbye to the Captain
                        D                             G
Cause you know he’ll always be around

Yea, Capt’n Harry will always be around
