Keelhauled Alestorm
transcribed by Niallakokovich
Intro: Bbm Bbm Bbm Bbm Ab (x2)
After violin starts: Bbm Bbm Db Ab
Repeat this a few times and then when there is a sort of stop just before where
the guitar comes in play F instead of Ab
Then repeat the phrase a few more times
My [Bbm]friends I stand before you
To [Db]tell a truth most dire
There [Ab]lurks a traitor [Gb]in our midsts
Who [F]has invoked the captain?s ire
He [Bbm]don?t deserve no mercy
We [Db]ought to shoot him with a gun
But [Ab]I am not an [Gb]evil man
So [F]first lets have a little fun
We?ll [Bbm]tie that scoundrel to a rope and [Ab]throw him overboard
[Gb]Drag him underneath the ship
A [F]terrifying deadly trip
[Bbm]Keelhaul that [Gb]filthy landlubber
[Ab]Send him down to the [Db]depths below
[Bbm]Make that bastard [Gb]walk the plank
Db Ab Eb C Bb A Bb (this line is only single notes)
With a bottle of rum and a yo ho ho
I [Bbm]will not say what he has done
His [Db]sins are far too grave to tell
It?s [Ab]not my place to [Gb]judge a man
But [F]for them he will burn in hell
The [Bbm]sharks will dine upon his flesh
And [Db]Davy Jones will have his soul
[Ab]Take his money [Gb]and his hat
He won?t [F]need them where he?s gonna go
But fi[B]rst lets tie him to a rope and [Ab]throw him overboard
[Gb]Drag him underneath the ship
A [F]terrifying deadly trip
[Bbm]Keelhaul that [Gb]filthy landlubber
[Ab]Send him down to the [Db]depths below
[Bbm]Make that bastard [Gb]walk the plank
Db Ab Eb C Bb A Bb (this line is only single notes)
With a bottle of rum and a yo ho ho
Then play the last line again to end the song
