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