D5
[Intro]
D5 As our ships sails under moonlight D5 The mighty north-wind blows D5 There's a scream come from the cabin D5 Not a sailor could have known A Is it he who killed the captain? A Is it he who cut him down? A Is our masquerade not over? D5 D5/C D5 Has the king not found his crown?
[Verse 2]
D5 See I'm a man of quick decisions D5 A farmer from the west D5 I will find the captains murderer D5 And I will fight him for the rest A So if I die, burn the bridges A If I don't, ring the bell A Cause we will drag his bloody body D5 D5/C D5 We will hang it from the sails
[Chorus]
F C Dm Cause I won't be home for your winter F C Dm No, I won't be home for your spring F C Dm Bb If the good Lord comes to find this body here of mine A D5 D5/C D5 D5/C D5 He will see, yes he will see
[Verse 3]
D5 See there was blood upon the window D5 The thunder rolled on by D5 When we saw the lightning coming D5 We heard the farmer cry A "Swim for shore, cause I'm a dead man A Burn the boat to the ground! A I've got the devil in my bosom D5 D5/C D5 D5/C D5 And god can't save me now"
[Chorus]
F C Dm Cause I won't be home for your winter F C Dm No, I won't be home for your spring F C Dm Bb If the good Lord comes to find this body here of mine A D5 D5/C D5 D5/C D5 He will see, yes he will see
[Verse 4]
D5 That was the last time we had seen him D5 The ship sank to the sea D5 And if you listen to the wind blow D5 You'll hear the farmer scream A "Swim for shore, cause I'm a dead man A Burn the boat to the ground! A I've got the devil in my bosom D5 D5/C D5 God, no god can't save me now"
[Chorus]
F C Dm Cause I won't be home for your winter F C Dm And I won't be home for your spring F C Dm Bb If the good Lord comes to find this body here of mine A He will see F C Dm Bb If the good Lord comes to find this body here of mine A D5 He will see, yes he will see
