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