[VERSE]
[G]Captain Margo got [Em]his boots shined
[C9]by his mistress in t[Em]he rain
[D]right in the mid[C]dle of a mudslid[G]e
[C9]She wiped, she [Em]spread
[D]she smiled, she [C9]wiped
and life was g[Am]ood for every body
life is go[D7]od for everyone
[G]Captain Margot foun[Em]d a gold coin
[C9]and he polished [Em]it at night
[D]using the reflec[C]tor from a bike [G]wheel
[C9]he wiped, he scraped
[D]he smiled and wi[C9]ped
and life was goo[Am]d for everybody
[D7]life was good for everyone

[BRIDGE]
but there are [Em]rats in the silo
[Bm]pull grain for a living
[C9]pile in the slip shift
[D]show up in your cereal

[REPEAT INTRO]

[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

[INTRO]

[FINALE]
And life is [Am]good for everybody, life is good fo[D]r everyone
BUT, CAPTAIN...[G]
