Roger McGuinn Jolly Roger written by Roger McGuinn/Jacques Levy
DmGDm The sun comes up on the Spanish sea our homeland far behind us GA7 Being hunted by the King's Navy it's sure he'd never find us DmCGDm Pull away me lads O the Cardiff Rose and hoist the Jolly Roger DmGDm We brought her into the looward wind and made for the Caribbean DmGA7 For thoughts of what it might have been destroys a human being DmGDm But thoughts about the Spanish gold and learning to desire it GA7 Can make a man so brash and bold he'll soon become a pirate DmCGDm Pull away me lads of the Cardiff Rose and hoist the Jolly Roger DmG Now a gleam came into the captain's eyes as he spied an English Dm clipper GA7 She looks the perfect shape and size let's all aboard and strip her DmGDm We fired a shot across her bow and eased ourselves beside her GA7 With our keel as close as she'd allow we swung from the deck to ride her DmCGDm Pull away me lads of the Cardiff Rose and hoist the Jolly Roger DmGDm Up she tumbles and starts to pitch and signals for assistance GA7 We tightened our hold another hitch and ended her resistance DmG Now there's many a day on the Spanish sea I served aboard that Dm raider
But we never did nothing more beautifully GA7 Than the way that we belayed her DmCGDm Pull away me lads of the Cardiff Rose and hoist the Jolly Roger DmG Her hold was hot as St Elmo's fire her chests were filled with Dm treasure GA7 We took as much as we'd require then took more for our pleasure Dm Now there's many a day on the Spanish Main GDm But none I hold so dear GA7 As the happy day I first became a scurvy buccaneer DmCGDm Pull away me lads of the Cardif Rose and hoist the Jolly Roger
