Tom:
E
(slight E/F for pirate riff)
E F#m E
In days of old when ships were bold just like the men who sailed them
E F#m E
And if they showed us disrespect we tied them up and flailed them
C#m G#m
Often in the low degree and often men of steel
C#m B
They’d make you walk the plank alone or haul you round the keel
[Chorus]
E C#m
Hoist the Jolly Roger (2x)
F# A
It’s your money that we want and your money we shall have
B
[Whistle verse]
[Chorus]
E C#m
Hoist the Jolly Roger (2x)
F# A
It’s your money that we want and your money we shall have
B
[Key change]
A Bm A
Of all the pirates on the sea the worst of them was Blackbeard
A Bm A
So damnable a face from hell he was the one they most feared
F#m C#m
Any man who sailed with him was taking quite a chance
F#m E
He’d hang them from the gallows just to see if they could dance
[Chorus]
A F#m
Hoist the Jolly Roger (2x)
B D
It’s your money that we want and your money we shall have
E
