Fb5 G5
Though you see me now a mere ghost of a man
D5 A
I once had the heart of a lion
Fb5 G5
Commanded my ship between many a shore
D5 A
The ol’ Jolly Roger a-flyin
Fb5 G5
Mine was a name that struck fear into men
D5 A
And regret into plenty of lasses
Fb5 G5
Oh how I wish I could take back those days
D5 A
As I stare at these empty beer-glasses
G Cbm
And I think of the times past when I had it all
A Fb5
I toyed with men’s wives and their daughters
G Cbm
And in my pursuit of this ill-gotten wealth
A Cb
I stabbed and I slashed and I slaughtered
Fb5 C5
And for what? The men that I’ve fought
D5 A
Are matched by the number of women I’ve bought
Fb5 C5
And for what? I’ve killed and I’ve shot
D5 D
And reddened the cold tears of children with blood
Fb5 D G5 A5
And if I could go back and make my amends
G5 D5 Fb5
I’d make all those mistakes again
G5 D Cb Fb5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards, my friend

My ship was the last sight that many would see
D5 A
As we narrowed the gap with our quarry
Fb5 G5
The sound of the cannons and splintering wood
D5 A
Would herald our paths into glory
Fb5 G5
We seized all the bounty and scuppered the ship
D5 A
Our hearts hadn’t time for the wounded
Fb5 G5
I took my share and the crew got the rest
D5 A
And on into port we then bounded
G Cbm
Life has many pleasures, and we had our fill
A Fb5
Of food and of wenches and beer
G Cbm
When we’d tired of the port or had drunken it dry
A Cb
The time to set sail would come near
Fb5 C5
And for what? We heeded no law
D5 A
Made other men suffer so we could have more
Fb5 C5
And for what? We lived every day
D5 D
With the noose of the hangman a hair’s breadth away
Fb5 D G5 A
And if I could go back and make my amends
G5 D Fb5
I’d make all those mistakes again
G5 D Cb Fb5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards, my friend

Fb5 G5
Oh I have seen wonders you’d never have dreamed
D5 A
And taken my fair share I must say
Fb5 G5
Holds full of booty I happily seized
D5 A
From crews who would not see a new day
Fb5 G5
Spanish gold came and went, gem stones got sold
D5 A
But I knew more lay on the horizon
Fb5 G5
Yet the beer was too good and the gals were too sweet
D5 A
And now in my old age it’s gone
G Cbm
These memories were bought with the lives of good men
A Fb5
F price that I paid without scruple
G Cbm
So many souls suffered so I could get drunk
A Cb
And swagger from brothel to brothel
Fb5 C5
And for what? It’s been many years
D5 A
Yet the screams of the vanquished still ring in my ears
Fb5 C5
And for what? I’ve blood on my hands
D5 D
I wait for my place in the halls of the damned
Fb5 D G5 A
And if I could go back and make my amends
G5 D Fb5
I’d make all those mistakes again
G5 D Cb Fb5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards my friend
