Captain Albert Alexander Tab uke di Steam Powered Giraffe (Accordi Baritono)

E  
When he was a boy
              G#7
he wanted to play
C#m           A
down by the sea

            E
At age thirteen
                G#7
everyday after school
C#m              A                
he would always sail around the lake

E
All the people would stand and stare
        G#7
as he sailed around with precision and care
         E
With his bi-corner hat and the way he would stand
    G#7
he looked just like a Navy man
C#m                                   A
All the townsfolk would gather and say, and sing away

E                 A
Captain Albert Alexander
            B                 A
He'll be a brave seafarer someday
          E              A
But that Captain Albert Alexander
B                    A
He'll go down in the waves

              E  
By age twenty four
              G#7
he had left the shore
C#m           A
and was sailing for the Queen

              E  
On a dark starry night
              G#7
Albert awoke to the sound
C#m           A
of his Captain screaming as he was drowned

E
The Navy crew was taking a lick
        G#7
pirates had invaded the ship
         E
But Albert with one aimed harpoon
    G#7
ignited their rum with a spark and soon
C#m                                   A
flames drove the pirates away ... the Navy sang

E                 A
Captain Albert Alexander
            B                 A
Saved his crew from pirate slaughter
          E              A
But that Captain Albert Alexander
B                    A
He'll go down in the water

            E
Now everyone dance
G#7     C#m      A
Dance. Dance. Daaaaaaaaaance

                        E  
Twenty some odd years later
                  G#7
On his ship The Sea Slater
    C#m                    A
He sailed into a mass of blubber

                   E  
Gazing up to the sky
                 G#7
stood a large walrus
           C#m              A                  E
that was a hundred stories high, it meant no harm

                                     G#7
The walrus was in a great deal of pain
                                     E
It suffered from a tusk with tooth decay
                                       G#7
Albert threw his anchor 'round it's tusk
                                            C#m 
with a little bit of pulling it was out by dusk
                               A
The walrus thanked Albert and sang, as he sailed away

E                 A
Captain Albert Alexander
            B                 A
Friend to sea urchin and me
          E              A
But that Captain Albert Alexander
B                    A
He'll go down in the sea

      G#7                    C#m
At a ripe old age lightning struck from the sky
     G#7                     C#m
and split Albert's vessel in two
     G#7            C#m          
One hundred men fled for their lives
     G#7                  C#m
on rafts across the ocean blue

C#m                   A           
Albert stood at the stern of his ship
   C#m               A
A giant octopus had him in it's grip
   C#m                  A
A vortex of spiraling death below ripped
   C#m                         A
and sharks and electric eels all made the trip 
       C#m
to see Albert
E                         A 
sink to the bottom of the sea

C#m                  A
Just before he went down
C#m                  A
he called out to his crew
C#m                   A
It's obvious that my time has come
      C#m              A
I'll let this ending ensue
      C#m                       A 
I've led an exciting nautical life it would seem
            C#m                   A
and there's no better end than a death by the sea ... His crew sang

E                 A
Captain Albert Alexander
            B                 A
He went down in the sea
          E              A
But that Captain Albert Alexander
B                    A
He'll go down in history

E                       A
That Captain Albert Alexander
         B           E A B  E   B   E
He went down in the seeeee-ee--hee-hea!
