[Verse 1]
N.C.
Lord Bateman was a noble lord
AA noble lord of high degree
G A Eadd9Imprisoned in some foreign country
G D/F# ETo spend his life in captivity
[Verse 2]
G A Eadd9He is a captain in the King's own Navy
G Aadd9He'd spent his life upon the cold grey sea
G A Eadd9What would he give now for a plate of meat and gravy
G D/F# EOr for an angel to appear and set him free
[Verse 3]
G A Eadd9For seven years he lives on bread and dirty water
G Aadd9A single candle in his prison room for light
G A Eadd9Into the cell will walk the pretty jailer's daughter
G D/F# EThe cloak she's wearing is as black as any night
[Chorus]
D G AShe is a creature of captivating beauty
D G AAs this bold captain's hungry eyes would ever see
G A Eadd9She looks upon him with the eye of love's desire
G D/F# EAnd so he begs her, "Lady, will ye set me free?"
[Verse 5]
G A Eadd9"What can you offer if you gain your freedom?
G Aadd9I'll lose my heart if I should ever set you free
G A Eadd9I have the keys if you'll deliver me a promise
G D/F# EShould I release you, then you'll vow to marry me"
[Chorus]
D G A"You are a creature of captivating beauty
D G AWe could run and make a life beyond the sea"
G A Eadd9He takes her hand in his and makes a solemn promise
G D/F# E"Unchain me now and I will vow to marry thee"
[Verse 6]
G A Eadd9Beneath the city walls and down into the harbour
G Aadd9She'll throw his chains into the wine-dark sea
G A Eadd9They'll find a ship, but now his hand is forced to stay her
G D/F# E"In truth, I never could have married thee"
[Chorus]
D G AShe was a creature of captivating beauty
D G AHe still has many miles of ocean to traverse
G A Eadd9His broken promises will move the gods to anger
G D/F# EAll broken promises will render matters worse
G A Eadd9She sees the black storm clouds on the horizon
G D/F# E DHis solemn promises lie broken
A/C# A G D/F# EAnd whispered on the wind, as if it's spoken
Eadd9He'll hear a maiden's curse
