"Good Captain Clack"
(Gary Brooker - Keith Reid)
Intro:
(solo piano):
G Bm/F# Em [A B C C# D C B A piano l.H, single notes]
/ / / /
Verse 1:
Still scowling black Good Captain Clack
G Bm/F# Em Am [verses: D organ solo: D7-9]
Must eat his humble pie
G Bm/F# G7/F C/E Cm/Eb [to coda on repeat]
His bed is made the colors fade
G Em Am [verses: D7 organ solo: D+]
His eyes once wet are dry
Verse 2:
The naked muse who sits and chews
Tobacco off a tree
Removes his shoes, gives way to booze
G Em Am D G [N.C.]
And searches endlessly
Bridge:
See the naked jumberlack
Sip his aphrodisiac
Cotton picking farmers three
Though I lost my weathervane
And of sense I have one grain
F7 Bb [N.C.]
I'm content sipping lemon tea
Instrumental break:
[organ solo over Verse 1 chords, altered as indicated]

repeat verse 1

Coda:
His eyes once wet are 
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
