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

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

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

Stealing their wenches and scouring the lands
Am
Plunder with thunder
C
Kill for the thrill
G F
Drink up me hearties til we've had our fill
