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