Eb5 F#5
Though you see me now a mere ghost of a man
C#5 G#
I once had the heart of a lion
Eb5 F#5
Commanded my ship between many a shore
C#5 G#
The ol’ Jolly Roger a-flyin
Eb5 F#5
Mine was a name that struck fear into men
C#5 G#
And regret into plenty of lasses
Eb5 F#5
Oh how I wish I could take back those days
C#5 G#
As I stare at these empty beer-glasses
F# A#m
And I think of the times past when I had it all
G# Eb5
I toyed with men’s wives and their daughters
F# A#m
And in my pursuit of this ill-gotten wealth
G# A#
I stabbed and I slashed and I slaughtered
Eb5 B5
And for what? The men that I’ve fought
C#5 G#
Are matched by the number of women I’ve bought
Eb5 B5
And for what? I’ve killed and I’ve shot
C#5 C#
And reddened the cold tears of children with blood
Eb5 C# F#5 G#5
And if I could go back and make my amends
F#5 C#5 Eb5
I’d make all those mistakes again
F#5 C# A# Eb5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards, my friend

Eb5 F#5
My ship was the last sight that many would see
C#5 G#
As we narrowed the gap with our quarry
Eb5 F#5
The sound of the cannons and splintering wood
C#5 G#
Would herald our paths into glory
Eb5 F#5
We seized all the bounty and scuppered the ship
C#5 G#
Our hearts hadn’t time for the wounded
Eb5 F#5
I took my share and the crew got the rest
C#5 G#
And on into port we then bounded
F# A#m
Life has many pleasures, and we had our fill
G# Eb5
Of food and of wenches and beer
F# A#m
When we’d tired of the port or had drunken it dry
G# A#
The time to set sail would come near
Eb5 B5
And for what? We heeded no law
C#5 G#
Made other men suffer so we could have more
Eb5 B5
And for what? We lived every day
C#5 C#
With the noose of the hangman a hair’s breadth away
Eb5 C# F#5 G#
And if I could go back and make my amends
F#5 C# Eb5
I’d make all those mistakes again
F#5 C# A# Eb5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards, my friend

REPEAT ACCORDIAN PART
Eb5 F#5
Oh I have seen wonders you’d never have dreamed
C#5 G#
And taken my fair share I must say
Eb5 F#5
Holds full of booty I happily seized
C#5 G#
From crews who would not see a new day
Eb5 F#5
Spanish gold came and went, gem stones got sold
C#5 G#
But I knew more lay on the horizon
Eb5 F#5
Yet the beer was too good and the gals were too sweet
C#5 G#
And now in my old age it’s gone
F# A#m
These memories were bought with the lives of good men
G# Eb5
E price that I paid without scruple
F# A#m
So many souls suffered so I could get drunk
G# A#
And swagger from brothel to brothel
Eb5 B5
And for what? It’s been many years
C#5 G#
Yet the screams of the vanquished still ring in my ears
Eb5 B5
And for what? I’ve blood on my hands
C#5 C#
I wait for my place in the halls of the damned
Eb5 C# F#5 G#
And if I could go back and make my amends
F#5 C# Eb5
I’d make all those mistakes again
F#5 C# A# Eb5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards my friend
