[Intro]
F G C
G7 C G
We were playing cards while the fire roared
F G
On battle's darkest night
F G
When the Capn's daughter came over
F G C
Her eyes so fair and light
C G
She smiled so pretty and she sat right down
F G
A smirk lit up her face
F G
She took some cards and dealt herself in
F G C
And said "I'll show you a race"
[Refrain]
G7 C G
Oh, the Capn's daughter has a smile so bright
F G
Her eyes so pale in Nomon's moonlight
F G
Her wink so keen it's a brilliant sight
F G C
And she cheats so sweet we'd never fight
C G
We laughed and chuckled at this lass's game
F G
For surely she'd be beat
F G
But when she put the red spheres down
F G C
We knew it'd be no easy defeat
C G
She shuffled her cards and she winked an eye
F G
Then held them up in a fan
F G
For a few rounds, she played close to her chest
F G C
Then on the third, she showed her hand
[Refrain]
G7 C G
Oh, the Capn's daughter has a smile so bright
F G
Her eyes so pale in Nomon's moonlight
F G
Her wink so keen it's a brilliant sight
F G C
And she cheats so sweet we'd never fight
C G
Our eyes were pulled to her spread out heralds
F G
She held them for all to see
F G
Cheating at cards is no way to win
F G C
But showing a hand, that's a treat
C G
She pulled a card out, a trick up her sleeve
F G
Though her hand was in full view
F G
Is it a cheat if everyone knows?
F G C
Well that night, no one knew
[Refrain]
G7 C G
Oh, the Capn's daughter has a smile so bright
F G
Her eyes so pale in Nomon's moonlight
F G
Her wink so keen it's a brilliant sight
F G C
And she cheats so sweet we'd never fight
C G
It was all going well, till the capn came over
F G
Surely he'd figure it out
F G
But when we looked back, her cards were down
F G C
No sign of her hand to be found
C G
He gathered her up and brought her back.
F G
And when he wasn't looking her way
F
She winked o'er her shoulder.
G
She mouthed "see you later."
F G C
Stormfather grant me that day.
[Refrain]
G7 C G
Oh, the Capn's daughter has a smile so bright
F G
Her eyes so pale in Nomon's moonlight
F G
Her wink so keen it's a brilliant sight
F G C
And she cheats so sweet we'd never fight
F G C
And her hand's so pretty she wins every night
