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