Biography:
Cape Town, South Africa (1965 - present)
McCully Workshop is arguably one of South Africa's finest pop rock bands. They started way back in the '60's, dominated the South African airwaves in the '70's, continued through the '80's and '90's and in the 21st century are still going strong.
In 1965, the McCullagh brothers, Tully (born Terence on 31st May 1953) and Mike (born Michael on 7th April 1947) started as a folk-rock trio with Richard Hyam and called themselves the Blue Three.

Buccaneer - McCully Workshop
[Intro]
N.C
Sixteen men on a dead mans chest
N.C
Will I see you tomorrow?
N.C
Sixteen men and I'll see the rest
N.C
I wont beg, steal or borrow.

[Verse 1]
Em
Well we sailed into the beach
Em
And we were just out of reach
Em
Of the forty-second squadron
D
When I heard the captain screech
Em
Get down on the sand
Em
Dont you waste no time
D A
Cause we gotta get that gold inside
Em
Before it turns after nine
[Chorus]
G Em
And the Buccaneer said I'll see you dead
G C
I'll see you swinging from the yard arm
G Em
The buccaneer sang in a nasal twang
D Em
Theres enough gold here to start on
D Em E Em A
There's enough gold to get high on
[Verse 2]
Em
Well the Captain hed been told
D
Where they hid away the gold
Em
And he told us to go dig it up
D
So that he could get it sold
Em
But somebody had taken it
D
Before his very eyes
A
And he turned around and looked at me
Em
And much to my surprise
[Chorus]
G Em
And the Buccaneer said I'll see you dead
G C
I'll see you swinging from the yard arm

The buccaneer sang in a nasal twang

Em G
Well I had to get away
A
So I swam into the bay
Em
And I could hear him coming up
D Em
And I could hear him say
Em D
When I get hold of you
Em
You wont even cry
D A
Cause Ill string you from the yardarm
Em A
And all youll do is die
Em
Well they got me on the deck
Em
Put the rope around my neck
D
And I could feel the sweat break out
Em
And I could feel it stick
Em
But the Royal Navy frigate came
Em
And rescued me at last
D A
She put one across the bow
Em
And fired one into the mast
[Chorus]
