Verse 1: (play the main riff)
Cut. Cut away. Let the axes fly
Let a'loose them ropes and everything dry
Leave the scars of the land far away ashore
Let the strumpets cry like the waves will roar
**(stop here with a A note and then keep it going with the riff in the next part)
Let the pall dispurse. Let them see our stern
Pray we nay be moored, pray our names be earned
Let our bildge grow damp, let our futtocks crack
May our Bows be strong, and the winds at our back
Chorus :
A C
Lucky fools! Hoist up them Colors!!
A C
Lucky fools! Hoist up them Colors!!

Verse 2: (main riff)
Bring the anchor up, up, let the sails roll down
Let them rats grow old, may we hang or drown
Let the swell grow high. Nay we stillness feel
Let the fathoms wail down below our keel
Set! Set a'sail. Let the landlubbers stay
Leave this Cradle of Dirt to the Ocean's spray
Let the skies and seas be our only friends
Let our journeys start, long before it ends!
Chorus 2 :
A C
Lucky fools! Hoist up them Colors!!
