My Sad Captains

Elbow

From the album The Take Off and Landing of Everything. One of Elbow's finest songs. My first tab and nobody had done one yet, so here you go, Elbow fans. Play along on acoustic and impress the ladies/gentlemen. Tuning: Standard Intro: . I think it's in simple 4/4 if that helps anyone. I'm running out of miracles Oh my soul And the streets are lined with one-man shows Oh my soul Corner boys were moved along Oh my soul We're plummeting like crippled crows Oh my soul Oh, long before You and I were born Others beat these benches with their empty cups To the night and its stars To be here, and now, and who we are Another sunrise with my sad captains With who I choose to lose my mind And if it's so we only pass this way but once What a perfect waste of time The BMX apothecary Oh my soul The architect of infamy Oh my soul For each and every train we missed Oh my soul A bitter little Eucharist oh my soul Oh, long before You and I were born Others beat these benches with their empty cups To the night and its stars To be here, and now, and who we are Another sunrise with my sad captains With who I choose to lose my mind And if it's so we only pass this way but once What a perfect waste of time Another sunrise with my sad captains With who I choose to lose my mind And if it's so we only pass this way but once What a perfect waste of time
