[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Cut. Cut away. Let the axes fly
Let a'loose them ropes
and everything dry
[C]Leave the [Am]scars of the land far away ashore
Let the strumpets cry like
the waves will roar
[C]Let the

[Verse 2]
[Am]pall disperse. Let
them see our stern
Pray we nay be moored,
pray our names be earned
Let our bilge grow damp,
let our futtocks crack
May our Bows be strong,
and the winds at our back

[Verse 3]
Lucky [C]fools! Hoist up them Color[Am]s!!
Lucky [C]fools! Hoist up them Col[Am]ors!!

[Verse 4]
Bring the [Am]anchor up,
up. Let the sails roll down
Let them rats grow old.
May we hang or drown
Let the swell grow high.
Nay we stillness feel
Let the fathoms wail down
below our [C]keel

[Verse 5]
[Am]Set! Set [C]a'sail. Let [Am]the landlubbers stay
Leave this cradle of dirt to
the Ocean's spray
[C]Let [Am]the skies and seas be our only friends
Let our journeys start,
[C]long be[Am]fore [C]it ends!
[Am]Lucky fools!

[Verse 6]
[C]Hoist up them Colors!![Am]
Lucky [C]fools! Hoist [Am]up th[C]em Colors!!

hands! back to our [C]hand[F] s![C]
