C5 D#5
Though you see me now a mere ghost of a man
A#5 F
I once had the heart of a lion
C5 D#5
Commanded my ship between many a shore
A#5 F
The ol’ Jolly Roger a-flyin
C5 D#5
Mine was a name that struck fear into men
A#5 F
And regret into plenty of lasses
C5 D#5
Oh how I wish I could take back those days
A#5 F
As I stare at these empty beer-glasses
D# Gm
And I think of the times past when I had it all
F C5
I toyed with men’s wives and their daughters
D# Gm
And in my pursuit of this ill-gotten wealth
F G
I stabbed and I slashed and I slaughtered
C5 G#5
And for what? The men that I’ve fought
A#5 F
Are matched by the number of women I’ve bought
C5 G#5
And for what? I’ve killed and I’ve shot
A#5 A#
And reddened the cold tears of children with blood
C5 A# D#5 F5
And if I could go back and make my amends
D#5 A#5 C5
I’d make all those mistakes again
D#5 A# G C5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards, my friend

C5 D#5
My ship was the last sight that many would see
A#5 F
As we narrowed the gap with our quarry
C5 D#5
The sound of the cannons and splintering wood
A#5 F
Would herald our paths into glory
C5 D#5
We seized all the bounty and scuppered the ship
A#5 F
Our hearts hadn’t time for the wounded
C5 D#5
I took my share and the crew got the rest
A#5 F
And on into port we then bounded
D# Gm
Life has many pleasures, and we had our fill
F C5
Of food and of wenches and beer
D# Gm
When we’d tired of the port or had drunken it dry
F G
The time to set sail would come near
C5 G#5
And for what? We heeded no law
A#5 F
Made other men suffer so we could have more
C5 G#5
And for what? We lived every day
A#5 A#
With the noose of the hangman a hair’s breadth away
C5 A# D#5 F
And if I could go back and make my amends
D#5 A# C5
I’d make all those mistakes again
D#5 A# G C5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards, my friend

C5 D#5
Oh I have seen wonders you’d never have dreamed
A#5 F
And taken my fair share I must say
C5 D#5
Holds full of booty I happily seized
A#5 F
From crews who would not see a new day
C5 D#5
Spanish gold came and went, gem stones got sold
A#5 F
But I knew more lay on the horizon
C5 D#5
Yet the beer was too good and the gals were too sweet
A#5 F
And now in my old age it’s gone
D# Gm
These memories were bought with the lives of good men
F C5
C# price that I paid without scruple
D# Gm
So many souls suffered so I could get drunk
F G
And swagger from brothel to brothel
C5 G#5
And for what? It’s been many years
A#5 F
Yet the screams of the vanquished still ring in my ears
C5 G#5
And for what? I’ve blood on my hands
A#5 A#
I wait for my place in the halls of the damned
C5 A# D#5 F
And if I could go back and make my amends
D#5 A# C5
I’d make all those mistakes again
D#5 A# G C5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards my friend
