[Verse 1]
D#m
On the stormy shores of Azeroth,
A#
C# silhouette did stand.
B
C# brave and stalwart sailor
F# A#
Who gave a helpin' hand.
D#m
Without fail, on every whim,
A#
Which we did demand,
B
He simply smiled and waved his hand,
C#
And sent us 'cross the land.
[Chorus]
F# C#
Farewell to thee, Placeholder,
D#m A#
Your ship has sailed to sea.
B F#
We'll tip our hats and pray one day
C#
To be as great as thee.
F# C# D#m A#
Captain P, you'll never know the emptiness inside
B F# C# F#
As we sit ashore on Menethil, waitin' for a ride.
[Verse 2]
D#m
Time did pass, until, one day,
A#
That silhouette did fade.
B
Where once we found Placeholder
F# A#
Only scattered winds remained.
D#m
The stormy sea went silent
A#
On that dark and dreary day.
B
But come along, my friends,
C#
Let's raise a glass up for his name!
[Chorus]
F# C#
Farewell to thee, Placeholder,
D#m A#
Your ship has sailed to sea.
B F#
We'll tip our hats and pray one day
C#
To be as great as thee.
F# C# D#m A#
Captain P, you'll never know the emptiness inside
B F# C# F#
As we sit ashore on Menethil, waitin' for a ride.

[Verse 3]
D#m
So when you find yourself lamenting
A#
On that lonely pier,
B
Watching as the ships come in,
F# A#
And dryin' off your tears,
D#m
Believe in what he stood for,
A#
And I know that he’ll survive.
B
Inside our hearts dear Placeholder
C#
Will always be alive!
[Chorus]
F# C#
Farewell to thee, Placeholder,
D#m A#
Your ship has sailed to sea.
B F#
We'll tip our hats and pray one day
C#
To be as great as thee.
F# C# D#m A#
Captain P, you'll never know the emptiness inside
B F# C# F#
As we sit ashore on Menethil, waitin' for a ride.
