Cody adds hammer ons and pull offs a lot to add flavour, you can just play around and add them when it feels
right to you - no point in me tabbing it all out, because it's all preference really - hope this helps
its a beautiful song and story and really easy to play.
Cmaj is played with all open strings, except 1st on B and 2nd on A (and mute the low E) - unconventional
way of playing it.
[Intro]
C Cmaj9 Fmaj9 x2
[Verse 1]
C Cmaj9 Fmaj9 This young sailor's going to drown C Cmaj9 Fmaj9 This old ship is sinking down C Cmaj9 And his cheeks are black and blue Bb F And he's murdered all his crew C Cmaj9 Fmaj9 This young sailor's going to drown
[Verse 2]
C Cmaj9 Fmaj9 This young man is goin' to die C Cmaj9 Fmaj9 Cursed as soon as he saw the sky C Cmaj9 And the clouds are black as Hell Bb F And as far as we can tell C Cmaj9 Fmaj9 This young man is goin' to die
[Chorus]
Am G Fmaj9 C He's off to do the Devil's dance Am G Waitin' deep in hand with the man Am Fmaj9 C He's off to do the Devil's deed Am G F And he'll never see the shoreline again Am G F And he'll never see the shoreline again
[Verse 3]
C Cmaj9 Fmaj9 The youngest captain the world's ever seen C Cmaj9 Fmaj9 Striking a lightning bolt dream C Cmaj9 Bb F Only seventeen, living far beyond his means E F The youngest captain the world's ever seen
[Chorus]
Am G Fmaj9 C He's off to do the Devil's work Am G But to him it's a favor for a friend Am G Fmaj9 C He's off to learn the Devil's craft Am G F But to him it's the only freedom for a man Am G F Death is the only freedom for a man Am G Fmaj9 Death is the only freedom for a man
