Db5 E5
Though you see me now a mere ghost of a man
B5 F#
I once had the heart of a lion
Db5 E5
Commanded my ship between many a shore
B5 F#
The ol’ Jolly Roger a-flyin
Db5 E5
Mine was a name that struck fear into men
B5 F#
And regret into plenty of lasses
Db5 E5
Oh how I wish I could take back those days
B5 F#
As I stare at these empty beer-glasses
E Abm
And I think of the times past when I had it all
F# Db5
I toyed with men’s wives and their daughters
E Abm
And in my pursuit of this ill-gotten wealth
F# Ab
I stabbed and I slashed and I slaughtered
Db5 A5
And for what? The men that I’ve fought
B5 F#
Are matched by the number of women I’ve bought
Db5 A5
And for what? I’ve killed and I’ve shot
B5 B
And reddened the cold tears of children with blood
Db5 B E5 F#5
And if I could go back and make my amends
E5 B5 Db5
I’d make all those mistakes again
E5 B Ab Db5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards, my friend

Db5 E5
My ship was the last sight that many would see
B5 F#
As we narrowed the gap with our quarry
Db5 E5
The sound of the cannons and splintering wood
B5 F#
Would herald our paths into glory
Db5 E5
We seized all the bounty and scuppered the ship
B5 F#
Our hearts hadn’t time for the wounded
Db5 E5
I took my share and the crew got the rest
B5 F#
And on into port we then bounded
E Abm
Life has many pleasures, and we had our fill
F# Db5
Of food and of wenches and beer
E Abm
When we’d tired of the port or had drunken it dry
F# Ab
The time to set sail would come near
Db5 A5
And for what? We heeded no law
B5 F#
Made other men suffer so we could have more
Db5 A5
And for what? We lived every day
B5 B
With the noose of the hangman a hair’s breadth away
Db5 B E5 F#
And if I could go back and make my amends
E5 B Db5
I’d make all those mistakes again
E5 B Ab Db5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards, my friend

Db5 E5
Oh I have seen wonders you’d never have dreamed
B5 F#
And taken my fair share I must say
Db5 E5
Holds full of booty I happily seized
B5 F#
From crews who would not see a new day
Db5 E5
Spanish gold came and went, gem stones got sold
B5 F#
But I knew more lay on the horizon
Db5 E5
Yet the beer was too good and the gals were too sweet
B5 F#
And now in my old age it’s gone
E Abm
These memories were bought with the lives of good men
F# Db5
D price that I paid without scruple
E Abm
So many souls suffered so I could get drunk
F# Ab
And swagger from brothel to brothel
Db5 A5
And for what? It’s been many years
B5 F#
Yet the screams of the vanquished still ring in my ears
Db5 A5
And for what? I’ve blood on my hands
B5 B
I wait for my place in the halls of the damned
Db5 B E5 F#
And if I could go back and make my amends
E5 B Db5
I’d make all those mistakes again
E5 B Ab Db5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards my friend
