VERSEGEm
Captain Margo got his boots shined
C9Em
by his mistress in the rain
DCG
right in the middle of a mudslide
C9Em
She wiped, she spread
DC9
she smiled, she wiped
Am
and life was good for every body
D7
life is good for everyone
GEm
Captain Margot found a gold coin
C9Em
and he polished it at night
DCG
using the reflector from a bike wheel
C9
he wiped, he scraped
DC9
he smiled and wiped
Am
and life was good for everybody
D7
life was good for everyone
BRIDGEEm
but there are rats in the silo
Bm
pull grain for a living
C9
pile in the slip shift
D
show up in your cereal

VERSE 2
captain margot showed up married
on the 4th day of september
honey on the back side of some wheat toast
she spread, and bit
she smiled, and spread
and life was good for everybody
life was good for everyone
and captain margot says a sailor
feels the salt course in his veins
and has no need for explanation
he sails, he floats
he smiles and sails
and life is good for everybody
life is good for everyone
BRIDGE
but there's a thin line of difference
between aesthetics and emotion
one might please the view,
one torments by touchless wonder

FINALEAmD
And life is good for everybody, life is good for everyone

BUT, CAPTAIN...
