Done in standard. If you want to do it truly as Voltaire does, just use the transpose 
tool :)

For the A7 and Dm at the end of each line of the verse, just quickly strum each one of 
them once. Listen to the song for the rhythm. I recommend fingerpicking everything 
besides the A7 Dm I mentioned earlier and the chorus.

So in search of fortune I took to the sea.

Held it desperately as your ship left the dock

Gm (355333@1)            A7 (x02020@1)      DmI (xx0231@1)can't forget, I won't forgive this sea
        Gm (355333@1)            A7 (x02020@1)    DmFor (xx0231@1)the endless hurt it gave to me.

And from Silver Bay, I've scars for souvenirs.

Years have passed. How many, I don't know anymore.

Lost adrift at sea, a storm comes. It's getting cold.
