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 (133xxx@4) B5 (x244xx@1) F# (244322@1) C# (x43121@1) Ab5 (133xxx@4) B5 (x244xx@1) F#5 (244xxx@1) C# (x43121@1) Ab5 (133xxx@4) B5 (x244xx@1) B5 (x244xx@1) F# (244322@1) Ab5 (133xxx@4)Ab5 (133xxx@4) B5Though (x244xx@1)you see me now a mere ghost of a man
F#5 (244xxx@1) C#I (x43121@1)once had the heart of a lion
Ab5 (133xxx@4) B5Commanded (x244xx@1)my ship between many a shore
F#5 (244xxx@1) C#The (x43121@1)ol' Jolly Roger a-flyin
Ab5 (133xxx@4) B5Mine (x244xx@1)was a name that struck fear into men
F#5 (244xxx@1) C#And (x43121@1)regret into plenty of lasses
Ab5 (133xxx@4) B5Oh (x244xx@1)how I wish I could take back those days
F#5 (244xxx@1) C#As (x43121@1)I stare at these empty beer-glasses
B (x2444x@1) EbmAnd (xx4342@1)I think of the times past when I had it all
C# (x43121@1) Ab5I (133xxx@4)toyed with men's wives and their daughters
B (x2444x@1) EbmAnd (xx4342@1)in my pursuit of this ill-gotten wealth
C# (x43121@1) EbI (x43121@3)stabbed and I slashed and I slaughtered
Ab5 (133xxx@4) E5And (022xxx@1)for what? The men that I've fought
F#5 (244xxx@1) C#Are (x43121@1)matched by the number of women I've bought
Ab5 (133xxx@4) E5And (022xxx@1)for what? I've killed and I've shot
F#5 (244xxx@1) F#And (244322@1)reddened the cold tears of children with blood
Ab5 (133xxx@4) F# (244322@1) B5 (x244xx@1) C#5And (x133xx@4)if I could go back and make my amends
B5 (x244xx@1) F#5 (244xxx@1) Ab5I'd (133xxx@4)make all those mistakes again
B5 (x244xx@1) F# (244322@1) Eb (x43121@3) Ab5I'd (133xxx@4)kill every last one of those bastards, my friend

F#5 (244xxx@1) C#As (x43121@1)we narrowed the gap with our quarry
Ab5 (133xxx@4) B5The (x244xx@1)sound of the cannons and splintering wood
F#5 (244xxx@1) C#Would (x43121@1)herald our paths into glory
Ab5 (133xxx@4) B5We (x244xx@1)seized all the bounty and scuppered the ship
F#5 (244xxx@1) C#Our (x43121@1)hearts hadn't time for the wounded
Ab5 (133xxx@4) B5I (x244xx@1)took my share and the crew got the rest
F#5 (244xxx@1) C#And (x43121@1)on into port we then bounded
B (x2444x@1) EbmLife (xx4342@1)has many pleasures, and we had our fill
C# (x43121@1) Ab5Of (133xxx@4)food and of wenches and beer
B (x2444x@1) EbmWhen (xx4342@1)we'd tired of the port or had drunken it dry
C# (x43121@1) EbThe (x43121@3)time to set sail would come near
Ab5 (133xxx@4) E5And (022xxx@1)for what? We heeded no law

Ab5 (133xxx@4) E5And (022xxx@1)for what? We lived every day

B5 (x244xx@1) F# (244322@1) Ab5I'd (133xxx@4)make all those mistakes again
B5 (x244xx@1) F# (244322@1) Eb (x43121@3) Ab5I'd (133xxx@4)kill every last one of those bastards, my friend
