What Would Captain Picard Do


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
