An easy take on "Privateering". Probably not 100% accurate but works fine. Maybe
there's another bass note somewhere.
[Verse 1]
Am
Yon's my privateer, see how trim she lies
To every man a lucky hand and to every man a prize
C G
I live to ride the ocean, the mighty world around
Am G Am
To take a little plunder and to hear the cannon sound
F C
To lay with pretty women
G Dsus2
to drink Madeira wine
Am G Am
to hear the roller's thunder on a shore that isn't mine
[Chorus]
Am
Privateering, we will go
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
Privateering, we will go
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
[Verse 2]
Am
The people on your man o'war are treated worse than scum
I'm no flogging Captain, my God I've sailed with some
C G
Come with me to Barbary, we'll ply there up and down
Am G Am
Not quite exactly in the service of the Crown
F C
To lay with pretty women
G Dsus2
to drink Madeira wine
Am G Am
to hear the roller's thunder on a shore that isn't mine
[Chorus]
Am
Privateering, we will go
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
Privateering, we will go
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
[Verse 3]
Am
Look here there's my privateer, she's small but she can sting
Licensed to take prizes with a letter from the King
C G
I love the streets and taverns of a pretty foreign town
Am G Am
tip my hat to the dark eyed ladies as we sally up and down
F C
To lay with pretty women
G Dsus2
to drink Madeira wine
Am G Am
to hear the roller's thunder on a shore that isn't mine
[Chorus]
Am
Privateering, we will go
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!

Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
[Verse 4]
Am
Britannia needs her privateers each time she goes to war
Death to all her enemies though prizes matter more
C G
Come with me to Barbary, we'll ply there up and down
Am G Am
Not quite exactly in the service of the Crown
F C
To lay with pretty women
G Dsus2
to drink Madeira wine
Am G Am
to hear the roller's thunder on a shore that isn't mine
[Chorus]
Am
Privateering, we will go
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
Privateering, we will go
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
