Saltatio Mortis – Pirate‘s Life (Guitar)

        Dm                    C
We call no man our master, no lord and no king.

    Dm          C           Dm
Not long in one place do we stay.

         Dm                         C
And this world is for those who can grab it, and hold it.

   Dm            C          Dm
Possession's the law of the day.

      G                           A
So we take what we want, we ain‘t bother with buyin'.

   G                             A
We say what we mean, there ain't no point to lyin'.

      Dm           C              F             G
Don't like what we say, you might find yourself dyin'

     Dm         C           Dm
In a manner too gruesome to say.

     Dm                   C
It's wonderful living the life of a pirate

         Dm         C            Dm
With the freedom to take what we can

          Dm                   C
And we'll sail the world over, searchin' for plunder

    Dm         C        Dm
Not fearin' to face any man,

    Dm         C        Dm
not fearin' to face any man.

        Dm                C
When we come into town to spend all our spoils,

  Dm             C          Dm
A good time will be had for all.

          Dm                     C
We'll all go to that pub and get drunk off our arses,

     Dm                 C             Dm
When we're there, there ain't no last call.

         G                      A
I'll get rum for meself and buy ale for me friends,

      G                         A
And a great deal of loot on the wenches I'll spend.

         Dm          C             F       G
When the money's all gone it's off to sea again

      Dm    C         Dm
Trade cargo for cannonball.

     Dm                   C
It's wonderful living the life of a pirate

         Dm         C            Dm
With the freedom to take what we can

          Dm                   C
And we'll sail the world over, searchin' for plunder

    Dm         C        Dm
Not fearin' to face any man,

    Dm         C        Dm
not fearin' to face any man.

            Dm                     C
There's not one of us left who has not yet been blooded,

    Dm          C           Fm
For killing's a part of our trade.

        Dm                    C
And the only thing standing between us and death

   Dm               C            Dm
Is strength of arm, and speed of blade.

      G                      A
So we live every day like it might be our last

    G                        A
For all of us know that life is hard and fast

   Dm           C             F              G
We live for the moment, don't care 'bout the past

     Dm          C           Dm
From this is our comradeship made.

     Dm                   C
It's wonderful living the life of a pirate

         Dm         C            Dm
With the freedom to take what we can

          Dm                   C
And we'll sail the world over, searchin' for plunder

    Dm         C        Dm
Not fearin' to face any man,

    Dm         C        Dm
not fearin' to face any man.
