Gb5 A5
Though you see me now a mere ghost of a man
E5 B
I once had the heart of a lion
Gb5 A5
Commanded my ship between many a shore
E5 B
The ol’ Jolly Roger a-flyin
Gb5 A5
Mine was a name that struck fear into men
E5 B
And regret into plenty of lasses
Gb5 A5
Oh how I wish I could take back those days
E5 B
As I stare at these empty beer-glasses
A Dbm
And I think of the times past when I had it all
B Gb5
I toyed with men’s wives and their daughters
A Dbm
And in my pursuit of this ill-gotten wealth
B Db
I stabbed and I slashed and I slaughtered
Gb5 D5
And for what? The men that I’ve fought
E5 B
Are matched by the number of women I’ve bought
Gb5 D5
And for what? I’ve killed and I’ve shot
E5 E
And reddened the cold tears of children with blood
Gb5 E A5 B5
And if I could go back and make my amends
A5 E5 Gb5
I’d make all those mistakes again
A5 E Db Gb5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards, my friend

My ship was the last sight that many would see
E5 B
As we narrowed the gap with our quarry
Gb5 A5
The sound of the cannons and splintering wood
E5 B
Would herald our paths into glory
Gb5 A5
We seized all the bounty and scuppered the ship
E5 B
Our hearts hadn’t time for the wounded
Gb5 A5
I took my share and the crew got the rest
E5 B
And on into port we then bounded
A Dbm
Life has many pleasures, and we had our fill
B Gb5
Of food and of wenches and beer
A Dbm
When we’d tired of the port or had drunken it dry
B Db
The time to set sail would come near
Gb5 D5
And for what? We heeded no law
E5 B
Made other men suffer so we could have more
Gb5 D5
And for what? We lived every day
E5 E
With the noose of the hangman a hair’s breadth away
Gb5 E A5 B
And if I could go back and make my amends
A5 E Gb5
I’d make all those mistakes again
A5 E Db Gb5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards, my friend

Oh I have seen wonders you’d never have dreamed
E5 B
And taken my fair share I must say
Gb5 A5
Holds full of booty I happily seized
E5 B
From crews who would not see a new day
Gb5 A5
Spanish gold came and went, gem stones got sold
E5 B
But I knew more lay on the horizon
Gb5 A5
Yet the beer was too good and the gals were too sweet
E5 B
And now in my old age it’s gone
A Dbm
These memories were bought with the lives of good men
B Gb5
G price that I paid without scruple
A Dbm
So many souls suffered so I could get drunk
B Db
And swagger from brothel to brothel
Gb5 D5
And for what? It’s been many years
E5 B
Yet the screams of the vanquished still ring in my ears
Gb5 D5
And for what? I’ve blood on my hands
E5 E
I wait for my place in the halls of the damned
Gb5 E A5 B
And if I could go back and make my amends
A5 E Gb5
I’d make all those mistakes again
A5 E Db Gb5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards my friend
