Em GWhen i was young I sailed across the oceans,
C GWhere I sought to start my life anew
Am EmI was bent, to head out on the North Sea
D Bm EmAs a whaler I set out to be.
Em GWent to quench my thirst out in a tavern
C GWhere I met a British privateer.
Am EmWill you put your mark here on my paper?
D Bm EmNo, says I, and finished my third beer.
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C DBut when I left, a bully in the alley
C D EmWith his mates, they struck me to the ground
Em D Am EmAnd to their ship, they with me senseless carried.
C Bm EmWhen I woke, my hands and feet were bound.
[Chorus]
G DMates together, through stormy weather,
Am EmThrough gentle breeze and over raging seas
G DFree from tether but bound forever
C Bm EmI've been fifteen years a privateer.

[Verse 2]
Em GI was taught to raid the trading Frenchmen,
C G BmFor a share I fought for three hard years,
Am EmThen sold by captains closest henchmen
D Bm EmTo a crew of exiled cavaliers.
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C DSo yet again a bully in the alley,
C D EmWith his mates they struck me to the ground.
Em D Am EmAnd as ships cook, they stuck me in the galley
C Bm EmFor to feed the sailors all around
[Chorus]
G DMates together, through stormy weather,
Am EmThrough gentle breeze and over raging seas
G DFree from tether but bound forever
C Bm EmI've been fifteen years a privateer.

[Verse 3]
Em GSo here I am, I'm sailing cross the oceans,
C G BmAnd no whaler did I come to be. But,
Am Emyears have past, I've been promoted
D Bm EmAnd since long I'm proud to say I'm free
Em GWe may have a letter from old Charlie
C G BmThat says we English law abide
Am EmBut don't think we're hunting ships to parley
D Bm EmWe don't care what colours they may fly.
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C DSo here I Am your bully in the alley
C D EmWill you kindly come with me a while
Em D Am EmYou see our ship is stuck in need of sally
C Bm EmAnd I'm lacking neither wile nor guile
[Chorus]
G DMates together, through stormy weather,
Am EmThrough gentle breeze and over raging seas
G DFree from tether but bound forever
C Bm EmI've been fifteen years a privateer.
G D Am Em
G D C Bm Em
G DMates together, through stormy weather,
Am EmThrough gentle breeze and over raging seas
G DFree from tether but bound forever
C Bm EmI've been fifteen years a privateer.
G DMates together, through stormy weather,
Am EmThrough gentle breeze and over raging seas
G DFree from tether but bound forever
C Bm EmI've been fifteen years a privateer.
