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

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

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

Drink up me hearties til we've had our fill

Raise up your tankards into the sky
