Intro: Bm

            Bm
 In those verses of the Bible,
    A
 A message was concealed,
      G
 And soon for John,
      F#
 The secret was revealed,
Bm
 Deep in a Castle well,
       A
 The treasure could be found,
   G
 Blackbeard's diamond,
  F#
 Fourteen fathoms down,

         Bm  A
 Have a care, 
         G   F#
 Have a care, 
         Bm  A
 Have a care,
       G              F# Bm
 T'was evilly come by,

         Bm
 Though running as an outlaw,
          A
 With a price upon his head,
  G
 To his darling Grace,
     F#
 He had to go instead,
     Bm
 To tell her of his love,
              A
 And all the riches he would bring,
        G
 With Blackbeard's diamond,
      F#
 And buy her a wedding ring,

         Bm  A
 Have a care, 
         G   F#
 Have a care, 
         Bm  A
 Have a care,
       G              F# Bm A G 
 T'was evilly come by,

                  F#
 Go where you're heart believes,
  Bm                  A             G F# Bm A G F#
 Go, go where you're heart believes,

         Bm  A
 Have a care, 
         G   F#
 Have a care, 
         Bm  A
 Have a care,
       G              F# Bm
 T'was evilly come by,
