[Verse 1]
G C
I'll wait for you till I turn blue
G D
There's nothin' more a man can do
G C
Don't get your bollocks in a twist
D G
Settle down, don't take a fit
G C
Ya drank with demons straight from Hell
G D
They almost nearly won as well
G C
Ya wiped the floor with victory
G
N.C.
Then puked until you fell asleep

[Verse 2]
G C
Blackened was the banshee's wail
G D
These boots will never fill her jail
G C
So you crawled into an empty boat
D G
For the Gulf of Mexico
G C
Till Cortez came an' when so did you
G D
From the ashes charred and blue
G C
Smellin' like a Salty Dog
G
N.C.
Back from Hell where you belong

D G C D G
Anarchy, the scourge of every sea
D G
The Antichrist aboard a rig
C D G
With us your cutthroat thieves
D G
The ship went down we all near drowned
D G
Ya stood there on the deck
D G
Till the Spanish came and flogged yer arse
C D G
And dragged you from the wreck

[Verse 3]
G C
They threw a rope around yer neck
G D
To watch you dance the jig of death
G C
Then left ya for the starvin' crows
D G
Hoverin' like hungry whores
G C
One flew down plucked out yer eye
G D
The other he had in his sights
G C
Ya snarled at him, said leave me be
N.C.
I need the bugger so I can see
[Outro]
