Em Gb7 Some dance to remember, some dance to forget Bm Gb7 So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine" A E7 He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine" G D And still those voices are calling from far away, Em Gb7 Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say...
