Fun and factual song from the "Horrible Histories" TV programme.
AWhen I was a nipper, DI boarded a clipper, ASailed the seas as a goods Eimporter, Oh! AEdward Teach is my name, Dbut I earned my fame, As ABlackbeard the Epirate of the Awater, Oh!
DWas a jolly chap, Awith a jaunty cap, BmAlways gave my crew good Equarter, Oh! ABut I'm best known for, Dblood and guts and gore, And a Aviscous reign of Emurdering and Aslaughter, Oh!
CREW: ABest known for, Dblood and guts and gore, And a Aviscous reign of Emurdering and Aslaughter, Oh!
ALeft my home in Bristol, Dwith a sword and pistol, ABid a fond farewell to ol' EBlighty, Oh! AWhat my enemies feared, Dwas my think black beard, AWhich I always Eenjoyed setting Alight to, Oh!
DOnce I had a thing for a Acaptive's lovely ring, That Bmshone like a jewel in the Enighty-oh! AWhen the man said 'no', DI just said 'oh,' And Achopped of his Ehand and said 'Arighty-oh!'
CREW: AMan said 'No.' DHe said 'Oh,' AChopped of his Ehand and said 'Arighty-oh!'
******************* Oh, I love to sail the ocean, With my flag that inspired emotion, Crew: With its smiling pile of skull and bones, Smashing hearts with a violent, stabbing motion. And I love to escape detection, And to win my crew's affection. Crew: Which was nothing to do with the twelve guns he wore On his belt that were for protection. *******************
DI was awfully nice, Abut I had the odd vice, BmWhich occasionally cause a Ecommotion. AThe thing that I'd do was shoot Dmembers of my crew, AIf they didn't Eshow enough Adevotion.
Crew: AThe thing he'd do was shoot Dmembers of the crew, AIf they didn't show Eenough Adevotion.
AOnce when very Irate, DI shot my first mate, AIsrael Hands for a bit of Epleasure, Oh! AAnd when my debts grew, Dkilled half of my crew, ATo increase my Eshare of the Atreasure, Oh!
DWas doing well then, seemed to Arun out of men, BmMy captives boarded at their Eleisure, Oh! ASmote me dead then Dcut of my head, And Adisplayed it on my Emast for good Ameasure, Oh!
Crew: ASmote him dead, Dchopped off his head, ADisplayed it on the Emast for good Ameasure, Oh! ==================================================================================
Original can be found at:http://youtu.be/8sUaJZX9ZkM Apologies for the lack of chords in the middle. I'm still trying to find ones that work, so any additions would be fantablious. :) (I currently do it A cappella in a Falsetto voice for giggles ;) )
