What Would Captain Picard Do?
guitar chords lyrics
Ok, so these are the chords to Hank Green's "What Would Captain Picard Do", that I
figured out by ear. They might not be perfect, but test it yourself, I say.
Capo on 3th fret
C F C G Am
Stardate 42695.3 was a pretty big day for me
C G C
I was given my first command
C G C
But it turned out to be more difficult then I'd planned
C F G
So I went to Riker and said "What if I fail?
G C Am
What if I freeze up with a Borg on our tail?
C G C
What if the choice I make is wrong?"
C F C
And Riker said to me "Wesley, give me break
G Am
It's arrogant to think you'll never make a mistake
C G C
But when you're in that position
C G C
You only have to ask yourself one question"
F G C
Oh, what would Captain Picard do?
F G C
Oh, what would Captain Picard do?
F G C G C
He'd ensure the safety of his ship and his crew
F G C
And then complete the mission
F G C
And make himself a better person
F G
Bring peace to the galaxy
C G C
And do it for free
C-G C
Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do
F-G C
Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do
C F C
I just woke up after three centuries
G Am
And my first thought was of money
C G C
Not that my family was gone
C F C
But this bald guy in a jumpsuit said to me
G C Am
That they'd abolished currency
C G C
Everything I'd worked for was gone
F G C
Yeah, there was nothing to withdraw
C F G
I said to him "What do you invest in
G C Am
If you don't have big corporations?"
C G C
He said "We invest in ourselves"
F G C
And maybe I should try that out for myself
F G C
Because that's what Captain Picard would do
F G C
Yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do
F G C G C
He'd ensure the safety of his ship and his crew
F G C
And then complete the mission
F G C
And make himself a better person
F G
Bring peace to the galaxy
C G C
And he'd do it for free
C-G C
Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do
F-G C
Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do
F G C G C
Remember when he told us to remove the saucer section
F G C G C
Even though we were at warp nine, there was no objection
F G C-G C
And yeah we could have killed the Borg using Hugh
F G C G C
But we agreed with the Captain it was the wrong thing to do
F G C-G C
And I'd rather follow Dixon Hill, Private Detective
F G C G C
Than observe some outmoded and obscure prime directive
F G C G C
And even after he was tortured for forty days and nights
F G C G C
He told that Cardassian that there were still four lights
F G C
And yeah when you're confused and the choice is too hard
F G C
Just think of Captain Picard
F G C
Just think of Captain Picard
F G C
Think what would Captain Picard do?
F G C
Yeah, what would Captain Picard do?
F G
He'd save the galaxy
C G C
And he'd do it for free
F G
He'd protect the whole world
C G C
And he'd still get the girl
F G
And he'd save the federation
C G C
And earn the Klingon's admiration
C-G C
Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do
F-G C
Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do
