[Verse 1]
A C
We're sailin' out in foggy, dewy weather
G A
Pillagin' the Westcoasts
C G
Singin' out the "turalurao"
A C
But labouring on wicked, old sea
A
Was always making us row
G
Tired of the "turalurao"
[Verse 2]
D
Hunger and no capture
A C
From plague we're no more raptured
G
You didn't really treat us well
D
So much different stories
A
But we came for gold and glories
G E
Now we will send you back to hell
[Chorus]
G
You traitors, the captain's dead, hail!
D
So long live me
C G D
Now I'm in charge so no wail! Way-hey
A C
We'll riding on thunder
G D
The world's gonna humble
F G
Under favour of the night we'll sail
A
The captain's dead

D
Abandoned families
A C
Got only catching disease
G
Now we've got nothing left to lose

The soup is served with rat tag

No lumber for wooden leg

Fighting beside you it's no use
[Chorus]

You traitors, the captain's dead, hail!
