[Intro]
 Bbm   Bbm   Bbm   Bbm   Ab[x2]
After violin starts:  Bbm   Bbm   Db  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
[Verse]
My Bbmfriends I stand before you
To Dbtell a truth most dire
There Ablurks a traitor Gbin our midsts
Who Fhas invoked the captain’s ire
He Bbmdon’t deserve no mercy
We Dbought to shoot him with a gun
But AbI am not an Gbevil man
So Ffirst lets have a little fun
[Pre-Chorus]
We’ll Bbmtie that scoundrel to a rope and Abthrow him overboard
GbDrag him underneath the ship
A Fterrifying deadly trip
[Chorus]
BbmKeelhaul that Gbfilthy landlubber
AbSend him down to the Ebdepths below
BbmMake that bastard Gbwalk the plank
With a bDbottle of Abrum and a Ebmyo Fho Bbmho
[Verse]
I Bbmwill not say what he has done
His Dbsins are far too grave to tell
It’s Abnot my place to Gbjudge a man
But Ffor them he will burn in hell
The Bbmsharks will dine upon his flesh
And DbDavy Jones will have his soul
AbTake his money Gband his hat
He won’t Fneed them where he’s gonna go
[Pre-Chorus]
But fiBbmrst lets tie him to a rope and thAbrow him overboard
GbDrag him underneath the ship
A Fterrifying deadly trip
[Chorus]
BbmKeelhaul that Gbfilthy landlubber
AbSend him down to the Ebdepths below
BbmMake that bastard Gbwalk the plank
With a bDbottle of Abrum and a Ebmyo Fho Bbmho
[Outro]
