Intro
C#m F#m C#m
One night I sailed the seas of dark Thuringia
A E B
I thirsted for an ale, so I headed to a bar
C#m A B E
"Shlumphy" was the name I saw above the door
F#m C#m
F# curious smell came flowing out
A C#m
So I went inside for more
[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
C#m
I see the man called Shlumphy
F#m C#m
Behind the oaken bar
A E B
"Velcome to my tavern", he cries with open arms
C#m
Schnitzels by the dozen
A B E
We have for you to eat
F#m C#m
Sausages and local beer, it's quite the gourmet treat
[Pre-Chorus]
E
Cold winds are blowing
B
The night is dark and long
A
Raise up a tankard
G#
and join in our song
[Chorus]
C#m
Plunder with thunder
E
Kill for the thrill
B A
Drink up me hearties til we've had our fill
C#m E
Raise up your tankard into the sky
B A
Pirates forever from now til we die
F#m C#m
Fighting together with swords in our hands
E B
Stealing their wenches and scouring the lands
C#m
Plunder with thunder
E
Kill for the thrill
B A
Drink up me hearties til we've had our fill
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
C#m F#m C#m
I try to fill my tankard with a pint of that old spice
A
"No" he said, "you must pay up
E B
The drinks come at a price"
C#m
So of course I did
A B E
What's natural to me
F#m C#m
I took my flintlock out
A C#m
and shot him through the knees
E
We drank the tavern dry
B
Devoured all the meats
A
We kidnapped his ugly wife
G#
and took off through the streets
[Chorus]
C#m
Plunder with thunder
E
Kill for the thrill
B A
Drink up me hearties til we've had our fill
C#m E
Raise up your tankard into the sky
B A
Pirates forever from now til we die
F#m C#m
Fighting together with swords in our hands
E B
Stealing their wenches and scouring the lands
C#m
Plunder with thunder
E
Kill for the thrill
B A
Drink up me hearties til we've had our fill
[Solo]
F#m C#m E B A C#m E B A F#m C#m E B C#m E B A F#m F#m
[Chorus]
C#m
Plunder with thunder
E
Kill for the thrill
B A
Drink up me hearties til we've had our fill
C#m E
Raise up your tankards into the sky
B A
Pirates forever from now til we die
F#m C#m
Fighting together with swords in our hands
E B
Stealing their wenches and scouring the lands
C#m
Plunder with thunder
E
Kill for the thrill
B A
Drink up me hearties til we've had our fill
