An easy take on "Privateering". Probably not 100 % accurate but works fine. Maybe there's another bass note somewhere.
[Verse]
Am Yon's my privateer see how trim she lies
To every man a lucky hand and to every man a prize CG I live to ride the ocean the mighty world around AmGAm To take a little plunder and to hear the cannon sound
FC To lay with pretty women GDsus2 to drink Madeira wine AmGAm to hear the roller's thunder on a shore that isn't mine
[Chorus]
Am Privateering, we will go Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho! Privateering, we will go Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
[Verse]
Am The people on your man o'war are treated worse than scum
I'm no flogging Captain my God I've sailed with some CG Come with me to Barbary we'll ply there up and down AmGAm Not quite exactly in the service of the Crown
FC To lay with pretty women GDsus2 to drink Madeira wine AmGAm to hear the roller's thunder on a shore that isn't mine
[Chorus]
Am Privateering, we will go Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho! Privateering, we will go Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
[Verse 3]
Am Look here there's my privateer she's small but she can sting
Licensed to take prizes with a letter from the King CG I love the streets and taverns of a pretty foreign town AmGAm tip my hat to the dark eyed ladies as we sally up and down
FC To lay with pretty women GDsus2 to drink Madeira wine AmGAm to hear the roller's thunder on a shore that isn't mine
[Chorus]
Am Privateering, we will go Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho! Privateering, we will go Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
[Verse 4]
Am Britannia needs her privateers each time she goes to war
Death to all her enemies no prizes matter more CG Come with me to Barbary we'll ply there up and down AmGAm Not quite exactly in the service of the Crown
FC To lay with pretty women GDsus2 to drink Madeira wine AmGAm to hear the roller's thunder on a shore that isn't mine
[Chorus]
Am Privateering, we will go Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho! Privateering, we will go Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
