[Intro]
Am Em Am
[Verse 1]
Am
Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Em Am
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Am
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Em Am
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Dm Am
The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike
Dm Am
The bosun brained with a marlinspike
Em
And cookey's throat was marked belike
Am
It had been gripped by fingers ten;
Em
And there they lay, all good dead men
Am
Like break o'day in a boozing ken
Am Em Am
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
[Verse 2]
Am
Fifteen men of the whole ship's list
Em Am
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Am
Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist!
Em Am
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Dm Am
The skipper lay with his nob in gore
Dm Am
Where the scullion's axe his cheek had shore
Em
And the scullion he was stabbed times four
Am
And there they lay, and the soggy skies
Em
Dripped down in up-staring eyes
Am
In murk sunset and foul sunrise
Em Am
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
[Verse 3]
Am
Fifteen men of 'em stiff and stark
Em Am
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Am
Ten of the crew had the murder mark!
Em Am
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Dm Am
Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Dm Am
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
Em
And the scuppers' glut with a rotting red
Am
And there they lay, aye, damn my eyes
Em
Looking up at paradise
Am
All souls bound just contrawise
