A Amaj7               A7      B7/F#
Despite repeated warnings
           Dm/F E
Of dangers up ahead
A    Em                 D
The captain won't be listening
                  E
To what's been said


[Verse 2]
A  Amaj7                        A7      B7/F#
He feels that there's a good chance
             Dm/F     E
That we have been misled
A   Em                   D
And so the captain's planning
           E
To steam ahead


[Bridge 1]
Am              G
What can we do, what can we do
F/A                                 E
What can we do to stop this foolish plan going through?
Am              G/A
What can we do, what can we do? (Yeah, yeah)
F/A                           E
This man is bound to lose his ship and his crew
C   D
Oh, oh


[Verse 3]
A  Amaj7             A7          B7/F#
Despite repeated warnings
                Dm/F     E
From those who ought to know
A          Em              D
Well, he's got his own agenda
              E
And so he'll go


[Bridge 2]
Am
(What can we do?)
                            G/A
Those who shout the loudest (What can we do?)
                               F/A
May not always be the smartest (What can we do?)
                                    E
But they have their proudest moments

Right before they fall
Am
(What can we do?)
                      G/A
Red sky in the morning (What can we do?)
                              F/A
Doesn't ever seem to faze him (What can we do?)
                             E
But a sailor's warning signal
                       C   D
Should concern us all, oh, oh

[Chorus]
Gm          Em/G
How can we stop him?

Grab the keys and lock him up

If we can do it
Cm/G            Gm
We can save the day


[Verse 1]
C9
The engineer lives with his wife and daughter, Janet
Em7
But he misses them so
C9
Although he's working with the best crew on the planet (Best crew on the planet!)
Em7
They never want him to go
C9
He had a premonition, he senses something's wrong
Em7
And by his own admission, he knew it all along
C9
The captain's crazy, but he doesn't let them know it
Em
He'll take us with him if we don't do something soon to slow it!

We can save the day

The needle's going up, the engine's gonna blow

Part I reprise

[Verse 1]
A  Amaj7            A7         B7/F#
Despite repeated warnings
           Dm/F  E
Of dangers up ahead
A          Em/G             D
Well, the captain wasn't listening
                E
To what was said


[Outro]
Am
So we went to the captain (What can we do? / For those who shout the loudest)
G/A
And we told him to turn around (What can we do? / May not always be the smartest)
F/A
But he laughs in our faces (What can we do? / But they have their proudest moments)
E
Says that we are mistaken (Right before they fall)
Am
So we gather around him (What can we do? / Red sky in the morning)
G/A
Now the ropes that have bound him (What can we do? / Doesn't ever seem to faze him)
F/A
Prove that he should have listened (What can we do? / But a sailor's warning signal) (Should concern us all)
E
To the will of the people
C
It's the will of the people
D
It's the will of the people
