Roger McGuinn Jolly Roger written by Roger McGuinn/Jacques Levy
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
