This is just my interpretation. I don't think the chords are completely accurate (especially around the pillaged and plundered...) and I'll try to update the tab as I figure it out a bit more. Some of the chords I just plain made up because I think they sounded decently with it. Please leave comments if you figure out a better chord.
