Em
Brother, my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
     
Am
For to buy no more whiskey

 
Em
 (Riff - tab)
I have to go home
Em
I am the captain of my pain
Tis the bit, the bridle,
The trashing cane
   
Am
The stirrup, the harness
The whipping mane
   
Em
The pickled eye
The shrinking brain
О brother, buy me one more drink
I'll explain the nature of my pain
   
Am
Yes, let me tell you once again
   
Em
 (Riff)
I am the captain of my pain
