PIRATE SONG- ALESTORM (Black Sails at Midnight) worked out by ear so might not be exactly 100% but the least it could be is 99%. everything here sounds right but might not be exactly correct. i wrote this for keyboard but it would proably be the same for guitar, as most of it is just power chords anyway. INTRO- Ab5 B5 F#5 C# Ab5 B5 F# C# Ab5 B5 F#5 C# Ab5 B5 B5 F# Ab5
Though Ab5you see me now a mere B5ghost of a man I F#5once had the heart of a C#lion ComAb5manded my ship between B5many a shore The F#5ol’ Jolly Roger C#a-flyin
Ab5Mine was a name that struck B5fear into men And reF#5gret into plenty of C#lasses Ab5Oh how I wish I could B5take back those days As I F#5stare at these empty beer-C#glasses
And I Bthink of the times past when EbmI had it all I C#toyed with men’s wives and theiAb5r daughters And Bin my pursuit of this Ebmill-gotten wealth I C#stabbed and I slashed and I Ebslaughtered
And for Ab5what? The E5men that I’ve fought Are F#5matched by the number of C#women I’ve bought And for Ab5what? I’vE5e killed and I’ve shot And F#5reddened the cold tears of F#children with blood And Ab5if I could F#go back and B5make my aC#5mends I’B5d make all thosF#5e mistakeAb5s again I’d kilB5l every lasF#t one of thosEbe bastards, mAb5y friend
REPEAT INTRO- Ab5 B5 F#5 C# Ab5 B5 F# C# Ab5 B5 F#5 C# Ab5 B5 B5 F# Ab5
My Ab5ship was the last sight that B5many would see As we F#5narrowed the gap with our C#quarry The Ab5sound of the cannons and B5splintering wood Would F#5herald our paths into C#glory
Ab5We seized all the bounty and B5scuppered the ship Our F#5hearts hadn’t time for thC#e wounded Ab5I took my share and the B5crew got the rest And F#5on into port we then C#bounded
Life Bhas many pleasures, and Ebmwe had our fill Of C#food and of wenches and Ab5beer When we’Bd tired of the port or haEbmd drunken it dry The C#time to set sail would come Ebnear
And for Ab5what? We E5heeded no law Made F#5other men suffer so C#we could have more And for Ab5what? We E5lived every day With the F#5noose of the hangman a F#hair’s breadth away And Ab5if I could F#go back and B5make my aC#mends I’B5d make all thosF#e mistakesAb5 again I’d kilB5l every lasF#t one of thosEbe bastards, mAb5y friend

Oh Ab5I have seen wonders you’B5d never have dreamed And F#5taken my fair share I C#must say Ab5Holds full of booty I B5happily seized From F#5crews who would not see a C#new day
Spanish Ab5gold came and went, B5gem stones got sold But I F#5knew more lay on the horC#izon Yet the Ab5beer was too good and the B5gals were too sweet And F#5now in my old age it’C#s gone
These Bmemories were bought with the Ebmlives of good men A C#price that I paid without Ab5scruple So Bmany souls suffered so EbmI could get drunk And C#swagger from brothel to Ebbrothel
And for Ab5what? It’E5s been many years Yet the F#5screams of the vanquished still C#ring in my ears And for Ab5what? I’vE5e blood on my hands I F#5wait for my place in the F#halls of the damned And Ab5if I could F#go back and B5make my aC#mends I’B5d make all thosF#e mistakeAb5s again I’d kilB5l every lasF#t one of thosEbe bastards mAb5y friend
