[Intro] B B Am Em B B Am Em B B Am Em B B Am Em D Am F C D Am F C D Am F C F C C D [Verse]
D         C               G                  G C D
Countless years ago while lost in barren seas

D               C            G             G C D
There whispered murmurs of a bloody mutiny

D          C              G                   G C D
We took up arms and slain the officers of rank

D               C              G                     G C Am
And with swords drawn made the captain walk the plank
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                  Em
And as he fell down to the depths

   G              D
He swore a deadly curse

Am                    Em
"As sure as hell's my final fate

       G                D
You'll all soon die, or worse"

    Am            Em
Now as we stand before the gallows

G               D
Waiting for the end

     Am               Em              C D Em
I'll say these final words my friend
[Chorus]
   C                 G                D
At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig

Em                C               G            D
So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig

Em                    C          G              D
The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate

   Em                 C                    G         D
So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits
[Interlude] Am Am G G Am Am G G D [Verse]
D     C                  G                    G C D
We returned to port with sorrow in our chests

D       C               G                  G C D
An evil shadow followed us on every quest

D     C           G                  G C D
Never to feel joy again was our fate

D           C          G                     G C Am
Only misery and death, fear and burning hate
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                 Em
We broke the law, betrayed the code

G                   D
Now time is running out

Am          Em
An unforgivable offence

   G                D
Of that there is no doubt

    Am          Em
Now as we stand before the gallows

G           D
Waiting for the end

     Am              C              C D Em
I'll say these final words my friend
[Chorus]
   C                 G                D
At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig

Em               C               G            D
So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig

    Em               C          G              D
The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate

   Em                C                    G         D

D               C
Many years have passed now

F                    C
Yet the curse still lives on

D                   Am
And now we rot in a black prison cell

F                    Em
Waiting for our true calling in hell
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                   Em
But for the lives we leave behind

      G                  D
Don't shed a tear, don't cry

    Am          Em
The only way to break this curse

   G             D
Is for us all to die

Now as we stand before the gallows

Waiting for the end
