 A5             G5     F5   C5
Hunted down, I came upon
    Bb5                 A5
A place of ferns and grass
          G5            F5   C5
Gathered to a redbud tree
     Bb5                  A5
And now their footsteps pass

          G5         F5    C5
Where I crouch in dread
        Bb5            A5
Discovery my certain death
            G5               F5    C5
Her leaves reaching for my head
   Bb5             A5
As I suspend my breath


         C5          D5            A5
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me
         D5           G5           A5
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me

Those days of fear are gone

Yet I am pledged to her
    G5         F5    C5
As to my only one
    Bb5         A5
My lovely protector


         C5          D5            A5
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me

It was a windless night when you left the ship
     D5  G5       G5   C5
You never were a steady bold one
                D5              E5
I gave my hand, ah, but you did slip
       C5  D5             E5       C5
I?m a living man and you?re a cold one

Haul away, haul away for home

              C5                G5
My love?s as fair as a girl can be

My wedding ring is a heavy gold one

To fill our sails and end the doldrums

Our lucky ship  speeds across the sea

Yon?s my privateer

See how trim she lies

To every man a lucky hand

And every man a prize

I live to ride the ocean
     C5             G5     A5
The mighty world around
                   C5
To take a little plunder

And to hear the cannon sound

    F5               C5
To lay with pretty women
                  G5    D5
To drink Madeira wine

To hear the rollers thunder

She?s small but she can sting

Licensed to take prizes

With a letter from the King

I love the streets and taverns

Of a pretty foreign town

Each time she goes to war

Death to all her enemies

To sit here, caged by rain

Somewhere to go conjure

A next move
