Seven of Spades: O Captain

Filed under: black cards,spades — Tags: , , , , — hewins @ 12:33 pm

The Seven of Spades is a song I wrote to a poem by Walt Whitman. A collection called “Leaves of Grass” contains this poem. It’s a bit like what Billy Bragg and Wilco did to Woody Guthrie lyrics except that this poem was published and wasn’t intended to be lyrics (as far as I know).

I did this at home with the acoustic guitar.
