[Verse]
C G C
Oh the year was seventeen-seventy-eight
C F C G
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now.
C G C C
A letter of marque came from the king
C G F
To the scummiest vessel I'd ever seen
[Chorus]
G C
Goddamn them all
C F
I was told
C F C F
We'd cruse the seas for American gold
G C
We'd fire no guns
G F
Shed no tears
C F C F
I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
F F G C
The last of Barrett's privateers
[Verse]
C G C
Oh Euclid Barrett cried the town
C F C G
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C G C C
For twenty brave men, all fishermen, who
C G F
Would make for him the Antelope's crew
[Chorus]
G C
Goddamn them all
C F
I was told
C F C F
We'd cruse the seas for American gold
G C
We'd fire no guns
G F
Shed no tears
C F C F
I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
F F G C
The last of Barrett's privateers
[Verse]
C G C
The Antelope sloop was a sickening sight
C F C G
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C G C
She'd a-list to the port and her sails in rags
C C G F
And the cook in the scuppers with the staggers and jags
[Chorus]
G C
Goddamn them all
C F
I was told
C F C F
We'd cruse the seas for American gold
G C
We'd fire no guns
G F
Shed no tears
C F C F
I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
F F G C
The last of Barrett's privateers
[Verse]
C G C
On the king's birthday we put to sea
C F C G
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C G C
We were ninty-one days to Montego Bay
C C G F
Pumping like madmen all the way
[Chorus]
G C
Goddamn them all
C F
I was told
C F C F
We'd cruse the seas for American gold
G C
We'd fire no guns
G F
Shed no tears
C F C F
I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
F F G C
The last of Barrett's privateers
[Verse]
C G C
On the ninethy-sixth day we sailed again
C F C G
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C G C
When a bloody great Yankee hove in sight
C C G F
With our cracked four-pounders, we made to fight
[Chorus]
G C
Goddamn them all
C F
I was told
C F C F
We'd cruse the seas for American gold
G C
We'd fire no guns
G F
Shed no tears
C F C F
I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
F F G C
The last of Barrett's privateers
[Verse]
C G C
The Yankee lay low down with gold
C F C G
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C G C
She was broad and fat and loose with stays
C C G F
But to catch her took the Antelope two whole days
[Chorus]
G C
Goddamn them all
C F
I was told
C F C F
We'd cruse the seas for American gold
G C
We'd fire no guns
G F
Shed no tears
C F C F
I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
F F G C
The last of Barrett's privateers
[Verse]
C G C
Then at length we stood two cables away
C F C G
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C G C
Our cracked four-pounders made an aweful din
C C G F
But with one fat ball the Yank stove us in
[Chorus]
G C
Goddamn them all
C F
I was told
C F C F
We'd cruse the seas for American gold
G C
We'd fire no guns
G F
Shed no tears
C F C F
I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
F F G C
The last of Barrett's privateers
[Verse]
C G C
The Antelope shook and pitched on her side
C F C G
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C C G C
Barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs
C C G F
And the main truck carried off both me legs
[Chorus]
G C
Goddamn them all
C F
I was told
C F C F
We'd cruse the seas for American gold
G C
We'd fire no guns
G F
Shed no tears
C F C F
I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
F F G C
The last of Barrett's privateers
[Verse]
C G C
So here I lay in the twenty-third year
C F C G
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C C G C
It's been six years since we sailed away
C C G F
And I just made Halifax yesterday
[Chorus]
G C
Goddamn them all
C F
I was told
C F C F
We'd cruse the seas for American gold
G C
We'd fire no guns
G F
Shed no tears
C F C F
I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
