TDmhe sun comes up on the Spanish sea our Ghomeland far Dmbehind us Being hunted by the King's Navy it's Gsure he'd never A7find us Pull aDmway me lads O the Cardiff Rose and Choist the GJolly DmRoger DmWe brought her into the looward wind and Gmade for the CarDmibbean DmFor thoughts of what it might have been Gdestroys a human A7being But Dmthoughts about the Spanish gold and Glearning to Dmdesire it Can make a man so brash and bold he'll Gsoon become a A7pirate Pull awayDm me lads of the Cardiff Rose and Choist the GJolly RDmoger DmNow a gleam came into the captain's eyes as he Gspied an English Dmclipper She looks the perfect shape and size let's Gall aboard and A7strip her We fDmired a shot across her bow and Geased ourselves bDmeside her With our keel as close as she'd allow we Gswung from the deck toA7 ride her Pull Dmaway me lads of the Cardiff Rose and Choist the GJolly DmRoger DmUp she tumbles and starts to pitch and Gsignals for Dmassistance We tightened our hold another hitch and Gended her resisA7tance DmNow there's many a day on the Spanish sea I sGerved aboard that Dmraider
But we never did nothing more beautifully
Than the Gway that we A7belayed her Pull Dmaway me lads of the Cardiff Rose andC hoist the GJolly RoDmger DmHer hold was hot as St Elmo's fire her Gchests were filled with Dmtreasure We took as much as we'd require then Gtook more for our A7pleasure Now tDmhere's many a day on the Spanish Main But Gnone I hold so Dmdear As the happy day I first became aG scurvy buccA7aneer Pull aDmway me lads of the Cardif Rose and Choist the GJolly DmRoger
