 this is the format for all the verses
Everybody, listen  to me
And  return me, my  ship
I'm  your captain, I'm  your captain
Although  I'm feeling,  mighty sick
 I've been lost now, days uncounted
 And it's been months since, I've seen home
 Can you hear me, can you hear me
 Or am I, all alone
 If you return me, to my home port
 I will kiss you, mother earth
 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
You'd  better think  about it,  I just can't live  without it
So  please don't take  my ship away from me
 Go back to playing the verse riff a few times, then into verses 4 and 5
 I can feel the hand, of a stranger
 And it's tightening, round my throat
 Heaven help me, heaven help me
 Take this stranger, from my boat
 I'm your captain, I'm your captain
 Although i'm feeling, mighty sick
 Everybody, listen to me
 And return me, my ship
 I'm your captain, yea yea yea yea (x4)
 then play the outro till the end. the outro is very slow and not at all like the verses.
I'm  getting closer to my home  (repeat till end)
 This is a great tune, enjoy, and ask for more.
