[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]To New York [D]trader [G]I belong
She's built for speed,
both stout and strong
Well rigged, well manned,
well fit for sea
She's bound for New York in a merry cage
A cruel captain we did find
Left half our stock on shore behind
A cold and captain we did see
It meant us starvers with treachery
It lent our hunger, it grew great food
We had not a bite to eat
And we were in neces[C]sity
Of by our captain's treach
[G]ery[C][D][G][C][G][C][G]
[C][G]
[C]Our captain in [G]his cavalry
A [D]voice rang [G]clear to him that say
[C]Prepare [D]your[G]self and company,
[Csus2]for tomorrow night[G]
you'll lie [C]with me
Prepare [G]yourself and company,
[C]for tomor[Csus2]row night[G] you'll
lie with [C]me[Csus2][C]
Our captain woke in [Csus2]such a fr[C]ight,
it was the first watch of [Csus2]the night
Then [C]for the bosun he did call,
and to him told his secrets all
Orson said [D]he, grieves my heart
To think I [C]played a villain's part
To take what's [D]not my lawful due
To starve the [C]captain
and the whole [Csus2]ship's crew
[C]To take what's [D]not my lawful due
To starve the [C]captain
and the whole [Csus2]ship's cr[C]ew[G][C][G]
[C][G][C]
[G][C][D][G]
[C][G][C]
[D][Em]
One thing more I have to tell
When I in [C]Waterford [D]town did[C] dwell
I killed [D]my mas[Em]ter merchant there,
all for [C]the sake of his [D]lady
[Csus2]fair.[C][G]
Captain said, [C]he, if that be so,
[D]make sure your shi[G]p's cre[D]w do not know.
[G]But keep your secret to [D]you[C]r breast,
and pray to the Lord [D]to give you rest.
[G]You keep your secret to your breast
I pray to the Lord to give you rest
Till then next [F]morning
a storm [Eb]did [G]rise[Eb]
Which did [C]I s[G]eem among[D] surprise
[G]The wind was[D] ove[G]r, lef[C]t and rig[G]ht
The terrors of that [D]fateful [G]night
An[D]d then the boats and it declared
The captain was a murderer
It so [G]enraged the whole ship's crew
[D]That overboard our captain threw
It so [G]enraged the whole ship's crew
[D]That overboard [G]our [D]captain
[G]threw[C][G][C][G][C]
[G]
[C]A treacherous c[G]aptain
he bent on imme[C]diately
[G]There came a calm,
[C]the winds had fad[G]ed
and so did the sea
[C]And we sailed on [G]to America[C]y
[G][G][G][G]
[D][G][G][D]
