Alestorm- keelhauled

transcribed by Niallakokovich

Intro: Bbm Bbm Bbm Bbm Ab [x2]

After violin starts: Bbm Bbm C# Ab

Repeat this a few times and then when there is a sort of stop just before where 
the guitar comes in play F instead of Ab

Then repeat the phrase a few more times

   BbmMy (x13321@1)friends I stand before you
   C#To (x43121@1)tell a truth most dire
      Ab (xx1114@1)            F#There (244322@1)lurks a traitor in our midsts
    FWho (133211@1)has invoked the captain's ire
   BbmHe (x13321@1)don't deserve no mercy
   C#We (x43121@1)ought to shoot him with a gun
    Ab (xx1114@1)        F#But (244322@1)I am not an evil man
   FSo (133211@1)first lets have a little fun

      Bbm (x13321@1)                            AbWe'll (xx1114@1)tie that scoundrel to a rope and throw him overboard
F#Drag (244322@1)him underneath the ship
  FA (133211@1)terrifying deadly trip

Bbm (x13321@1)         F#Keelhaul (244322@1)that filthy landlubber
Ab (xx1114@1)                 C#Send (x43121@1)him down to the depths below
Bbm (x13321@1)             F#Make (244322@1)that bastard walk the plank
       C# (x43121@1)   Ab (xx1114@1)name="chord_x43121@3">Eb  C (x32010@1)   Bb (x1333x@1)name="chord_x02220@1">A Bb(this (x1333x@1)line is only single notes)
With a bottle of rum and a yo ho ho

  Bbm
I will not say what he has done
    C#His (x43121@1)sins are far too grave to tell
     Ab (xx1114@1)            F#It's (244322@1)not my place to judge a man
    FBut (133211@1)for them he will burn in hell
    BbmThe (x13321@1)sharks will dine upon his flesh
    C#And (x43121@1)Davy Jones will have his soul
Ab (xx1114@1)           F#Take (244322@1)his money and his hat
         FHe (133211@1)won't need them where he's gonna go

      B (x2444x@1)                            AbBut (xx1114@1)first lets tie him to a rope and throw him overboard
F#Drag (244322@1)him underneath the ship
  FA (133211@1)terrifying deadly trip
