A#5 C#5
Though you see me now a mere ghost of a man
G#5 D#
I once had the heart of a lion
A#5 C#5
Commanded my ship between many a shore
G#5 D#
The ol’ Jolly Roger a-flyin
A#5 C#5
Mine was a name that struck fear into men
G#5 D#
And regret into plenty of lasses
A#5 C#5
Oh how I wish I could take back those days
G#5 D#
As I stare at these empty beer-glasses
C# Fm
And I think of the times past when I had it all
D# A#5
I toyed with men’s wives and their daughters
C# Fm
And in my pursuit of this ill-gotten wealth
D# F
I stabbed and I slashed and I slaughtered
A#5 F#5
And for what? The men that I’ve fought
G#5 D#
Are matched by the number of women I’ve bought
A#5 F#5
And for what? I’ve killed and I’ve shot
G#5 G#
And reddened the cold tears of children with blood
A#5 G# C#5 D#5
And if I could go back and make my amends
C#5 G#5 A#5
I’d make all those mistakes again
C#5 G# F A#5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards, my friend

A#5 C#5
My ship was the last sight that many would see
G#5 D#
As we narrowed the gap with our quarry
A#5 C#5
The sound of the cannons and splintering wood
G#5 D#
Would herald our paths into glory
A#5 C#5
We seized all the bounty and scuppered the ship
G#5 D#
Our hearts hadn’t time for the wounded
A#5 C#5
I took my share and the crew got the rest
G#5 D#
And on into port we then bounded
C# Fm
Life has many pleasures, and we had our fill
D# A#5
Of food and of wenches and beer
C# Fm
When we’d tired of the port or had drunken it dry
D# F
The time to set sail would come near
A#5 F#5
And for what? We heeded no law
G#5 D#
Made other men suffer so we could have more
A#5 F#5
And for what? We lived every day
G#5 G#
With the noose of the hangman a hair’s breadth away
A#5 G# C#5 D#
And if I could go back and make my amends
C#5 G# A#5
I’d make all those mistakes again
C#5 G# F A#5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards, my friend

REPEAT ACCORDIAN PART
A#5 C#5
Oh I have seen wonders you’d never have dreamed
G#5 D#
And taken my fair share I must say
A#5 C#5
Holds full of booty I happily seized
G#5 D#
From crews who would not see a new day
A#5 C#5
Spanish gold came and went, gem stones got sold
G#5 D#
But I knew more lay on the horizon
A#5 C#5
Yet the beer was too good and the gals were too sweet
G#5 D#
And now in my old age it’s gone
C# Fm
These memories were bought with the lives of good men
D# A#5
B price that I paid without scruple
C# Fm
So many souls suffered so I could get drunk
D# F
And swagger from brothel to brothel
A#5 F#5
And for what? It’s been many years
G#5 D#
Yet the screams of the vanquished still ring in my ears
A#5 F#5
And for what? I’ve blood on my hands
G#5 G#
I wait for my place in the halls of the damned
A#5 G# C#5 D#
And if I could go back and make my amends
C#5 G# A#5
I’d make all those mistakes again
C#5 G# F A#5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards my friend
