Capo on the 4th fret When playing, keep the high e string open during the entire song. C When he was a boy E7 he wanted to play Am F/C down by the sea C At age thirteen E7 everyday after school Am F/C he would always sail around the lake C All the people would stand and stare E7 as he sailed around with precision and care C With his bi-corner hat and the way he would stand E7 he looked just like a Navy man Am F/C All the townsfolk would gather and say, and sing away C F/C Captain Albert Alexander G F/C He'll be a brave seafarer someday C F/C But that Captain Albert Alexander G F/C He'll go down in the waves By age twenty four he had left the shore and was sailing for the Queen On a dark starry night Albert awoke to the sound of his Captain screaming as he was drowned The Navy crew was taking a lick pirates had invaded the ship But Albert with one aimed harpoon ignited their rum with a spark and soon flames drove the pirates away the Navy sang Captain Albert Alexander Saved his crew from pirate slaughter But that Captain Albert Alexander He'll go down in the water Now everyone dance Dance. Dance. Twenty some odd years later On his ship The Sea Slater He sailed into a mass of blubber Gazing up to the sky stood a large walrus that was a hundred stories high, it meant no harm The walrus was in a great deal of pain It suffered from a tusk with tooth decay Albert threw his anchor 'round it's tusk with a little bit of pulling it was out by dusk The walrus thanked Albert and sang, as he sailed away Captain Albert Alexander Friend to sea urchin and me But that Captain Albert Alexander He'll go down in the sea E/7 Am At a ripe old age lightning struck from the sky E/7 Am and split Albert's vessel in two E/7 Am One hundred men fled for their lives E/7 Am on rafts across the ocean blue Am F/C Albert stood at the stern of his ship Am F/C A giant octopus had him in it's grip Am F/C A vortex of spiraling death below ripped Am F/C and sharks and electric eels all made the trip Am to see Albert C F/C sink to the bottom of the sea Am F/C Just before he went down Am F/C he called out to his crew Am F/C It's obvious that my time has come Am F/C I'll let this ending ensue Am F/C I've led an exciting nautical life it would seem Am F/C and there's no better end than a death by the sea His crew sang Captain Albert Alexander He went down in the sea But that Captain Albert Alexander He'll go down in history That Captain Albert Alexander He went down in the sea -End- Any question, comments or concerns, shoot me an email at dreaton72@gmail.com
