F5 G#5
Though you see me now a mere ghost of a man
D#5 A#
I once had the heart of a lion
F5 G#5
Commanded my ship between many a shore
D#5 A#
The ol’ Jolly Roger a-flyin
F5 G#5
Mine was a name that struck fear into men
D#5 A#
And regret into plenty of lasses
F5 G#5
Oh how I wish I could take back those days
D#5 A#
As I stare at these empty beer-glasses
G# Cm
And I think of the times past when I had it all
A# F5
I toyed with men’s wives and their daughters
G# Cm
And in my pursuit of this ill-gotten wealth
A# C
I stabbed and I slashed and I slaughtered
F5 C#5
And for what? The men that I’ve fought
D#5 A#
Are matched by the number of women I’ve bought
F5 C#5
And for what? I’ve killed and I’ve shot
D#5 D#
And reddened the cold tears of children with blood
F5 D# G#5 A#5
And if I could go back and make my amends
G#5 D#5 F5
I’d make all those mistakes again
G#5 D# C F5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards, my friend

F5 G#5
My ship was the last sight that many would see
D#5 A#
As we narrowed the gap with our quarry
F5 G#5
The sound of the cannons and splintering wood
D#5 A#
Would herald our paths into glory
F5 G#5
We seized all the bounty and scuppered the ship
D#5 A#
Our hearts hadn’t time for the wounded
F5 G#5
I took my share and the crew got the rest
D#5 A#
And on into port we then bounded
G# Cm
Life has many pleasures, and we had our fill
A# F5
Of food and of wenches and beer
G# Cm
When we’d tired of the port or had drunken it dry
A# C
The time to set sail would come near
F5 C#5
And for what? We heeded no law
D#5 A#
Made other men suffer so we could have more
F5 C#5
And for what? We lived every day
D#5 D#
With the noose of the hangman a hair’s breadth away
F5 D# G#5 A#
And if I could go back and make my amends
G#5 D# F5
I’d make all those mistakes again
G#5 D# C F5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards, my friend

REPEAT ACCORDIAN PART
F5 G#5
Oh I have seen wonders you’d never have dreamed
D#5 A#
And taken my fair share I must say
F5 G#5
Holds full of booty I happily seized
D#5 A#
From crews who would not see a new day
F5 G#5
Spanish gold came and went, gem stones got sold
D#5 A#
But I knew more lay on the horizon
F5 G#5
Yet the beer was too good and the gals were too sweet
D#5 A#
And now in my old age it’s gone
G# Cm
These memories were bought with the lives of good men
A# F5
F# price that I paid without scruple
G# Cm
So many souls suffered so I could get drunk
A# C
And swagger from brothel to brothel
F5 C#5
And for what? It’s been many years
D#5 A#
Yet the screams of the vanquished still ring in my ears
F5 C#5
And for what? I’ve blood on my hands
D#5 D#
I wait for my place in the halls of the damned
F5 D# G#5 A#
And if I could go back and make my amends
G#5 D# F5
I’d make all those mistakes again
G#5 D# C F5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards my friend
