This song feels like it's another one of Dave's songs that uses humour and eccentric imagery to smuggle in existential reflection. It’s reminiscent of the tradition of surreal folk satire where the singer laughs at the world before realising he is implicated too. The shift from “he was the captain” to “I’m like the captain” to “karma is the captain” is where the song gains its real depth. Karma and the Cockatoo Canoe by Dave Robinson, 16 May 2026 [capo 2: D harp option] verse 1 well the Am drum-major slipped and C tripped on his mace they had to G wipe the smirk from his face, and he Am refused to go back again to that place so he C lost, and instead of G winning the race, he was Am left in the lurch with a bitter taste.. Am … he was the C captain of a crew .. in a G cockatoo canoe .. Am … Am … verse 2 he Am hear the crowd who cheer but they C never stoop to boo they G drank the wine that’s reserved for a few, they’re all Am stuck together like bubble-gum glue their C beer, it was said, was a powerful brew, and they G looked to all the world .. like the Am book of who is who .. Am … he was the C captain of a crew .. in a G cockatoo canoe .. Am … Am … fill (capo 2 w D harp option): C … G … Am … Am … chorus I’m in Fmaj7 awe of how it visits, like it Cmaj7 watch us from a tower a hidden Fmaj7 law of meta-physics, don’t you Cmaj7 ever doubt it’s power and though it C9 doesn’t mean no harm, it can Dsus certainly disarm that’s Am7 karma, to remind us of G exactly where we’ve been that’s Am karma, it’s a silent force C unseen it G applies anon to me and you, who Am reside in a cockatoo canoe .. Am … fill (capo 2 w D harp option): C … G … Am … Am … verse 3 well, Am philosophy .. ’s his C thing there, man it’s G that of which he sing (when he can) but he Am feel like a frog with one leg stuck in slime a C victim of his own damn crime, a dead G cog in a gear with one ear, in the Am wheel of time .. Am … he was the C captain of a crew .. in a G cockatoo canoe .. Am … Am … verse 4 and I Am think that time has come C around again I gotta G get some spring back in my step, cos I’m Am runnin’ out of rhythm in my weary old hip I got C so much stuff goin’ round in my head that the G rhyme has disappeared, from my Am stiff upper lip .. Am … I’m like the C captain of a crew .. in a G cockatoo canoe .. Am … Am … fill (capo 2 w D harp option): C … G … Am … Am … verse 5 Am karma can’t be counted .. C karma can’t be culled G karma won’t be ousted .. it’ll Am simply unfold C sound waves ripple from a silent stone as they G stand to attention, for to Am guide one home .. Am … like the C captain of a crew .. in a G cockatoo canoe .. Am … Am … fill to end (capo 2 w D harp option): C … G … Am … Am … copyright: David A Robinson 2026
