Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Stardate 42695.3 was a pretty big day for me

I was given my first command

But it turned out to be more difficult then I'd planned

So I went to Riker and said "What if I fail?

What if I freeze up with a Borg on our tail?

What if the choice I make is wrong?"

And Riker said to me "Wesley, give me break

It's arrogant to think you'll never make a mistake

But when you're in that position

You only have to ask yourself one question"

Oh, what would Captain Picard do?

Oh, what would Captain Picard do?

He'd ensure the safety of his ship and his crew

And then complete the mission

And make himself a better person

Bring peace to the galaxy

And do it for free

Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do

Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do

I just woke up after three centuries

And my first thought was of money

Not that my family was gone

But this bald guy in a jumpsuit said to me

That they'd abolished currency

Everything I'd worked for was gone

Yeah, there was nothing to withdraw

I said to him "What do you invest in

If you don't have big corporations?"

He said "We invest in ourselves"

And maybe I should try that out for myself

Because that's what Captain Picard would do

Yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do

He'd ensure the safety of his ship and his crew

And then complete the mission

And make himself a better person

Bring peace to the galaxy

And he'd do it for free

Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do

Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do

Remember when he told us to remove the saucer section

Even though we were at warp nine, there was no objection

And yeah we could have killed the Borg using Hugh

But we agreed with the Captain it was the wrong thing to do

And I'd rather follow Dixon Hill, Private Detective

Than observe some outmoded and obscure prime directive

And even after he was tortured for forty days and nights

He told that Cardassian that there were still four lights

And yeah when you're confused and the choice is too hard

Just think of Captain Picard

Just think of Captain Picard

Think what would Captain Picard do?

Yeah, what would Captain Picard do?

He'd save the galaxy

And he'd do it for free

He'd protect the whole world

And he'd still get the girl

And he'd save the federation

And earn the Klingon's admiration

Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do

Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do
