[Verse]
Cm
My friends I stand before you
Eb
To tell a truth most dire
A# Ab
There lurks a traitor in our midsts
G
Who has invoked the captain’s ire
Cm
He don’t deserve no mercy
Eb
We ought to shoot him with a gun
A# Ab
But I am not an evil man
G
So first lets have a little fun
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm A#
We’ll tie that scoundrel to a rope and throw him overboard
Ab
Drag him underneath the ship
G
B terrifying deadly trip
[Chorus]
Cm Ab
Keelhaul that filthy landlubber
A# Eb
Send him down to the depths below
Cm Ab
Make that bastard walk the plank
Eb A# F D C B C (this line is only single notes)
With a bottle of rum and a yo ho ho
[Verse]
Cm
I will not say what he has done
Eb
His sins are far too grave to tell
A# Ab
It’s not my place to judge a man
G
But for them he will burn in hell
Cm
The sharks will dine upon his flesh
Eb
And Davy Jones will have his soul
A# Ab
Take his money and his hat
G
He won’t need them where he’s gonna go
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm A#
But first lets tie him to a rope and throw him overboard
Ab
Drag him underneath the ship
G
B terrifying deadly trip
[Chorus]
Cm Ab
Keelhaul that filthy landlubber
A# Eb
Send him down to the depths below
Cm Ab
Make that bastard walk the plank
Eb A# F D C B C (this line is only single notes)
With a bottle of rum and a yo ho ho
Then play the last line again to end the song
