E
When he was a boy
              Ab7
he wanted to play
Dbm           A 
down by the sea


            E
At age thirteen
                Ab7
everyday after school
Dbm              A 
he would always sail around the lake


E
All the people would stand and stare
        Ab7
as he sailed around with precision and care
         E
With his bi-corner hat and the way he would stand
    Ab7
he looked just like a Navy man
Dbm                                   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
                  Ab7
he had left the shore
Dbm                       A 
and was sailing for the Queen


                 E
On a dark starry night
                      Ab7
Albert awoke to the sound
Dbm                                        A 
of his Captain screaming as he was drowned


E
The navy crew was taking a lick
         Ab7
pirates had invaded the ship
         E
But Albert with one aimed harpoon
    Ab7
ignited their rum with a spark and soon
Dbm                             A 
flames from the pirates away, the navy sang


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

Now everyone dance

Dance. Dance.


                            E
twenty some odd years later
                    Ab7
on his ship the sea slater
Dbm           A 
he sailed into a mass of blubber


                 E
gazing up to the sky
                Ab7
stood a large walbus
Dbm                                A 
that was a hundred stories high, it meant no harm


E
the walrus was in a great deal of pain
        Ab7
it suffered from a tusk with tooth decay
         E
Albert threw his anchor round it’s tusk
    Ab7
with a little bit of pulling it was out by dusk
Dbm                                   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


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


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


Dbm                  A 
Just before he went down
Dbm                  A 
he called out to his crew
Dbm                   A 
It's obvious that my time has come
      Dbm              A 
I'll let this ending ensue
      Dbm                       A 
I've led an exciting nautical life it would seem
            Dbm                   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           A 
he went down in the sea
