[Verse 1]
Bm GWhen i was young I sailed across the oceans,
B GWhere I sought to start my life anew
Bm BmI was bent, to head out on the North Sea
G Cm BmAs a whaler I set out to be.
Bm GWent to quench my thirst out in a tavern
B GWhere I met a British privateer.
Bm BmWill you put your mark here on my paper?
G Cm BmNo, says I, and finished my third beer.
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm B GBut when I left, a bully in the alley
B G BmWith his mates, they struck me to the ground
Bm G Bm BmAnd to their ship, they with me senseless carried.
B Cm BmWhen I woke, my hands and feet were bound.
[Chorus]
G GMates together, through stormy weather,
Bm BmThrough gentle breeze and over raging seas
G GFree from tether but bound forever
B Cm BmI've been fifteen years a privateer.

[Verse 2]
Bm GI was taught to raid the trading Frenchmen,
B G CmFor a share I fought for three hard years,
Bm BmThen sold by captains closest henchmen
G Cm BmTo a crew of exiled cavaliers.
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm B GSo yet again a bully in the alley,
B G BmWith his mates they struck me to the ground.
Bm G Bm BmAnd as ships cook, they stuck me in the galley
B Cm BmFor to feed the sailors all around
[Chorus]
G GMates together, through stormy weather,
Bm BmThrough gentle breeze and over raging seas
G GFree from tether but bound forever
B Cm BmI've been fifteen years a privateer.

[Verse 3]
Bm GSo here I am, I'm sailing cross the oceans,
B G CmAnd no whaler did I come to be. But,
Bm Bmyears have past, I've been promoted
G Cm BmAnd since long I'm proud to say I'm free
Bm GWe may have a letter from old Charlie
B G CmThat says we English law abide
Bm BmBut don't think we're hunting ships to parley
G Cm BmWe don't care what colours they may fly.
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm B GSo here I Am your bully in the alley
B G BmWill you kindly come with me a while
Bm G Bm BmYou see our ship is stuck in need of sally
B Cm BmAnd I'm lacking neither wile nor guile
[Chorus]
G GMates together, through stormy weather,
Bm BmThrough gentle breeze and over raging seas
G GFree from tether but bound forever
B Cm BmI've been fifteen years a privateer.
G G Bm Bm
G G B Cm Bm
G GMates together, through stormy weather,
Bm BmThrough gentle breeze and over raging seas
G GFree from tether but bound forever
B Cm BmI've been fifteen years a privateer.
G GMates together, through stormy weather,
Bm BmThrough gentle breeze and over raging seas
G GFree from tether but bound forever
B Cm BmI've been fifteen years a privateer.
