[Verse 1]
G C
I'll wait for you till I turn blue
G D
There's nothin' more a man can do
G C
Don't get your bollocks in a twist
G D G
Settle down, don't take a fit
G C
Ya drank with demons straight from Hell
G D
They almost nearly won as well
G C
Ya wiped the floor with victory
G D G
Then puked until you fell asleep
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
Blackened was the banshee's wail
These boots will never fill her jail
So you crawled into an empty boat
For the Gulf of Mexico
Till Cortez came an' when so did you
From the ashes charred and blue
Smellin' like a Salty Dog
Back from Hell where you belong
[Chorus]
C G C G
Anarchy, the scourge of every sea
C C
The Antichrist aboard a rig
C D G
With us your cutthroat thieves
C G
The ship went down we all near drowned
C G
Ya stood there on the deck
C G
Till the Spanish came and flogged yer arse
C D G
And dragged you from the wreck
[Verse 3]
(same chords as other verses)
They threw a rope around yer neck
To watch you dance the jig of death
Then left ya for the starvin' crows
Hoverin' like hungry whores
One flew down plucked out yer eye
The other he had in his sights
Ya snarled at him, said leave me be
I need the bugger so I can see
(then keep the verse chords going until the end)
