PIRATE SONG- ALESTORM
(Black Sails at Midnight)
worked out by ear so might not be exactly 100% but the least it could be is 99%.
everything here sounds right but might not be exactly correct. i wrote this for
keyboard but it would proably be the same for guitar, as most of it is just power chords anyway.
INTRO- Ab5 B5 F#5 C#
Ab5 B5 F# C#
Ab5 B5 F#5 C#
Ab5 B5 B5 F# Ab5
Ab5 B5
Though you see me now a mere ghost of a man
F#5 C#
I once had the heart of a lion
Ab5 B5
Commanded my ship between many a shore
F#5 C#
The ol’ Jolly Roger a-flyin
Ab5 B5
Mine was a name that struck fear into men
F#5 C#
And regret into plenty of lasses
Ab5 B5
Oh how I wish I could take back those days
F#5 C#
As I stare at these empty beer-glasses
B Ebm
And I think of the times past when I had it all
C# Ab5
I toyed with men’s wives and their daughters
B Ebm
And in my pursuit of this ill-gotten wealth
C# Eb
I stabbed and I slashed and I slaughtered
Ab5 E5
And for what? The men that I’ve fought
F#5 C#
Are matched by the number of women I’ve bought
Ab5 E5
And for what? I’ve killed and I’ve shot
F#5 F#
And reddened the cold tears of children with blood
Ab5 F# B5 C#5
And if I could go back and make my amends
B5 F#5 Ab5
I’d make all those mistakes again
B5 F# Eb Ab5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards, my friend
REPEAT INTRO- Ab5 B5 F#5 C#
Ab5 B5 F# C#
Ab5 B5 F#5 C#
Ab5 B5 B5 F# Ab5
Ab5 B5
My ship was the last sight that many would see
F#5 C#
As we narrowed the gap with our quarry
Ab5 B5
The sound of the cannons and splintering wood
F#5 C#
Would herald our paths into glory
Ab5 B5
We seized all the bounty and scuppered the ship
F#5 C#
Our hearts hadn’t time for the wounded
Ab5 B5
I took my share and the crew got the rest
F#5 C#
And on into port we then bounded
B Ebm
Life has many pleasures, and we had our fill
C# Ab5
Of food and of wenches and beer
B Ebm
When we’d tired of the port or had drunken it dry
C# Eb
The time to set sail would come near
Ab5 E5
And for what? We heeded no law
F#5 C#
Made other men suffer so we could have more
Ab5 E5
And for what? We lived every day
F#5 F#
With the noose of the hangman a hair’s breadth away
Ab5 F# B5 C#
And if I could go back and make my amends
B5 F# Ab5
I’d make all those mistakes again
B5 F# Eb Ab5
I’d kill every last one of those bastards, my friend

Ab5 B5
Oh I have seen wonders you’d never have dreamed
F#5 C#
And taken my fair share I must say
Ab5 B5
Holds full of booty I happily seized
F#5 C#
From crews who would not see a new day
Ab5 B5
Spanish gold came and went, gem stones got sold
F#5 C#
But I knew more lay on the horizon
Ab5 B5
Yet the beer was too good and the gals were too sweet
F#5 C#
And now in my old age it’s gone
B Ebm
These memories were bought with the lives of good men
C# Ab5
A price that I paid without scruple
B Ebm
So many souls suffered so I could get drunk
C# Eb
And swagger from brothel to brothel
Ab5 E5
And for what? It’s been many years
F#5 C#
Yet the screams of the vanquished still ring in my ears
Ab5 E5
And for what? I’ve blood on my hands
F#5 F#
I wait for my place in the halls of the damned
Ab5 F# B5 C#
And if I could go back and make my amends
