Alestorm- keelhauled
transcribed by Niallakokovich
[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]
Bbm
My friends I stand before you
Db
To tell a truth most dire
Ab Gb
There lurks a traitor in our midsts
F
Who has invoked the captain’s ire
Bbm
He don’t deserve no mercy
Db
We ought to shoot him with a gun
Ab Gb
But I am not an evil man
F
So first lets have a little fun
[Pre-Chorus]
Bbm Ab
We’ll tie that scoundrel to a rope and throw him overboard
Gb
Drag him underneath the ship
F
A terrifying deadly trip
[Chorus]
Bbm Gb
Keelhaul that filthy landlubber
Ab Db
Send him down to the depths below
Bbm Gb
Make that bastard walk the plank
Db Ab Eb C Bb A Bb (this line is only single notes)
With a bottle of rum and a yo ho ho
[Verse]
Bbm
I will not say what he has done
Db
His sins are far too grave to tell
Ab Gb
It’s not my place to judge a man
F
But for them he will burn in hell
Bbm
The sharks will dine upon his flesh
Db
And Davy Jones will have his soul
Ab Gb
Take his money and his hat
F
He won’t need them where he’s gonna go
[Pre-Chorus]
Bbm Ab
But first lets tie him to a rope and throw him overboard
Gb
Drag him underneath the ship
F
A terrifying deadly trip
[Chorus]
Bbm Gb
Keelhaul that filthy landlubber
Ab Db
Send him down to the depths below
Bbm Gb
Make that bastard walk the plank
Db Ab Eb C Bb A Bb (this line is only single notes)
With a bottle of rum and a yo ho ho
Then play the last line again to end the song
