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