[Verse 1]
At age [Am]19, I was
kidnapped by Turk[C]ish pirates
[E]Med[Am]iterranean thugs
After some torture,
they considered [C]me [E]their [G5]masco[G]t[Am]
Cypriotic good luck
I had to taste the deck and
many [C]other things
I had [E]to pay [C]the piper with
my wed[G]ding ring
And I would nev[Am]er se[C]e [G]my famil[Am]y agai[C]n
By [G]25, I [G5]was

[Verse 2]
[E]respected as an equal
My [Am]art[C][E][G5]
[G]was[Am] a knife
On countless raids,
I was the first one up [C]the lanyard
Yeah, [E]I w[G5]as se[Am]eking a fight
There [C]is [E]no [G5]time to pray
And [Am]there's no time to beg
And [C]then it's [E]off [C]with an [G]arm
[Am]Or it's of[C]f wi[G]th a[Am] leg[C]
And [G5]if I spare y[E]our life
It's because the tide is leaving
[E5][Fm][F]

[Verse 3]
Oh yeah
By 31, I was [Am]the[C][E][Am][C][E]
[E5]
[Dm]capt[F]ain [Fm]of a galleon[Am]
I was Poseidon's new son
[C]The coa[E]st of [G5]Monte[Am]negro
was my favorite target
It was [C]ever [E]so fun[E5][C]
[G]We had no [Am]wooden [C]legs
Or [G]steel hooks
We [Am]had n[C]o black eyepatches
Or a starving [G]cook
We were just killers [E]with
the cold eyes of a sailor
Yeah, [F]we were killers with the cold

[Outro 1]
eyes of a sailor
