Chords for Bonnie Prince Billy Black Cab Sessions

_ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Well, we like round [N] figures and this is the 100th Black Cab Session and we're very happy
to [G#m] embody it.
That's right.
[N] _ This song we like to call Black Cabton.
We like to play it for June Tabor.
[G] Ever _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ see someone [Am] do so [G] well _ _ that none could _ [D] ever stop him _ _ _
[G] _ Commanding or [C] the [G] hardest swell with no force or fall to top [A] him
_ [D] _ [G] Well under all and everyone _ is hidden a woman [F] or [C] man
Who [G] lights and inspires _ such higher desires
And allows him [Bm] to do what [C] he can
What _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ [G] _ _ power [C] he _ had _ [G] _
only _ _ I know
_ [D] _
And now _ _ _ _ I _ _ _ have _ _ _ let my captain [G]
go _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] I was his true and he made my fortune
He led from on top of [D] my shoulder
He _ [G] _ could lead sure when my worship was pure
And any time even [D] step over
_ _ _ [G] He loved me and needed saw trouble and greeted [G] our trouble
His best met [C] head on
[F] What _ [G] seemed so distinguished
_ Became plainly vanquished when I left to [F#m] find life on [C] my own _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [C] What _ power _ he _ had [E] _ [G] _ _ _ only I [D] know
_ _ And _ now _ _ _ _ I _ _ have _ _ let my captain _ [G] go _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Now men [Em] laugh at him and say
[G] That better men number [A] in thousands
[D] _
_ _ [G] _ Nobody ever goes [C] out of his way
To lessen his clouds [A] as they crowd [D] in
And [G] _
I am nearby _ and I watch with a sigh
As my captain curls up like a [C] cripple
And [F] _ [G] hope that he goes _ where nobody knows
Under sea _ [Bm] and leaves nothing [C] above
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] What [C] power _ _ he _ had _ [G] _ _ _
only I know
[D] _ _
And now _ _ I _ _ _ have _ let _ _ my [Am] captain _ [G] go
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
