I was a captain,    On my way home.

I was a captian,      sailing through foam.

(Fancy aragio stuff. 4 beats each)   (fade out)

This should be the longest part of the song. We can take this to anywhere we 

want it. Should be a fun jam.



Info (BTW):
This song is about someone blacking out.
They are on a voyage to darkness (they are drinking to get completely
drunk and black out) and this caracter is the captain.(May be titled... 

Captain Burp) Then he 
passes out and 20 feet from his front door. His friend "T" finds him passed
out and nudges him to see if he is okay. But then T leaves him and get
him in trouble instead of helping him to his room. Then the character, who is
completely unconcious has beautiful dreams as he is taken to the hospital.

Enjoy.
