Lyrics:
Am Em
Once a privateer
Am Em
In service to the queen
Am C
He raided and he plundered
Bb C
An outlaw of the sea
Am Em
He armed a merchant ship
Am C
That he captured from the french
Bb C
She then became
Am Dm
Queen Anne's revenge
Am Em
He tied his beard in ribbons
Am C
Lit his hair up for a fight
Bb C
A pirate like no other
Am Dm
An intimidating sight
Am Em
Just to hear his name
Am C
Caused men to be afraid
Bb C Dm
To cross his sword would mean an early grave
F Gm Dm
Bb C Am Em
Blackbeard, blackbeard, terror of the sea!
Am C Dm
You made your mark in history
F Gm Dm
Bb C Am Em Am7
Blackbeard, blackbeard, raise your colours high!
Am C Dm
This is the day that you die
Am Em
In a bloody battle
Am Em
Off the coast of carolin'
Am C
He took five musket shots
Bb C
And the sword twenty times
Am Em
He gave it all he had
Am C
Up to the bitter end
Bb C Dm
Then the royal navy took his head
F Gm Dm
Bb C Am Em
Blackbeard, blackbeard, terror of the sea!
Am C Dm
You made your mark in history
F Gm Dm
Bb C Am Em Am7
Blackbeard, blackbeard, raise your colours high!
Am C Dm
This is the day that you die
F Gm Dm
Bb C Am Em
Blackbeard, blackbeard, terror of the sea!
Am C Dm
You made your mark in history
F Gm
Bb C Am Em Am7
Blackbeard, blackbeard, raise your colours high!
Am C Dm
This is the day that you die
