Dm              F               G           Am
Many years ago, when I was young I went to sea
Dm                    F            G         Am
To seek for gold and glory and fulfill my destiny
Dm                    F           G          Am
But all I gained for working hard were promises and scorn
Dm                    F           G          Am
Rotten food, diluted grog, and clothing weatherworn
Dm                    F           G           Am
Adventure wealth and glory though was never to be seen
Dm                    F           G          Am
I enlisted on a vessel with a captain oh so mean
Dm                    F           G          Am
But for a simple sailor who badly treated be
Dm                    F           G         Am
There's always opportunity of making mutiny


[Chorus]
Dm                  F
Prepare yourself to fight!
G             Am                 Dm
Come with us unite, draw forth your rapier
F                   G              Am
And powder, set sail with us tonight!
Dm            F            G          Am
Because you're free with us to sea
Dm             F
Combat all injustice
G                Am
Put an end to slavery


[Verse]
Dm                    F           G          Am
And you who are a miner and been for all your days
Dm                    F           G            Am
Helpless you are standing there when your masters underpay
Dm                    F           G          Am
Bailiffs are so greedy and deceiving all the serfs
Dm                    F           G          Am
So listen up and realize, you better lives deserve
Dm                    F           G            Am
And meanwhile men of noble birth, they dwell in great abound
Dm                    F           G           Am
The rest of us must struggle in starvation that surround
Dm                    F           G          Am
Detractors are just what they are, malevolent pigs!
Dm                    F           G          Am
They took of me my everything, in poverty I'm bound!


[Chorus]
Dm                  F
Prepare yourself to fight!
G             Am                 Dm
Come with us unite, draw forth your rapier
F                   G              Am
And powder, set sail with us tonight!
Dm            F            G          Am
Because you're free with us to sea
Dm             F
Combat all injustice
G                Am
Put an end to slavery


[Verse]
Dm                    F           G          Am
Little maid at the manor, she thought that all was well
Dm                    F           G           Am
Age of thirteen, free of men, and lovely like a spell
Dm                    F           G           Am
And just when she had found her love in a kind and bonny lad
Dm                    F           G              Am
Her whole world was turned upside down and good thing turned to bad
Dm                    F           G           Am
It was because of the wicked Count, an old disgusting man
Dm                    F           G          Am
A sadist fuck, so cold and cruel, a terrible tyrant
Dm                    F           G           Am
When he laid eye on the little maid he laugh and then he said
Dm                    F           G           Am
I need this girl to punish her then take her to me bed


[Chorus]
Dm                  F
Prepare yourself to fight!
G             Am                 Dm
Come with us unite, draw forth your rapier
F                   G              Am
And powder, set sail with us tonight!
Dm            F            G          Am
Because you're free with us to sea
Dm             F
Combat all injustice
G                Am
Put an end to slavery

Dm                  F
Prepare yourself to fight!
G             Am                 Dm
Come with us unite, draw forth your rapier
F                   G              Am
And powder, set sail with us tonight!
Dm            F            G          Am
Because you're free with us to sea
Dm             F
Combat all injustice
G                Am
Put an end to slavery
