Headed toward the leeward islands 'cause I heard there's treasure there

With my girl Anne Bonney (ha ha) we made quite a pair

Off the coast of Carolina on the Queen Anne's Revenge

Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Drink to the devil hath done with the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Drink to the devil hath done with the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

Great job! Soooo much better than the other versions! It is perfect as posted with capo 4. I also like to play it with a capo 2, transpose +2 so you're starting off with an A. It plays great with the recorded version, and the guitar has a bit more fully body sound. Both are great. One of my favorite songs. Thanks for posting.
