listen to the song to know when to change chords and how the rythm is going.

Intro:

Am Em Am x2


Verse:

Am                                   E  Am
Fifteen men on the dead man's chest

Am                                         E  Am
Drink and the devil had done for the rest.

Dm                             Am
The mate was fixed with the bosun's pike

         Dm                      Am
and the bosun brained with a marlin-spike.

    E
Cookie's throat was marked belike


Ref:

Am
It had been clutched by fingers ten.

E
And there they lay, all good dead men,

Am
Like break o' day in a boozing den

E                        Am
Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!
