The sun comes up on the Spanish sea  our homeland far behind us
GG Piano Chord 
               A7A7 Piano Chord 

Being hunted by the King's Navy it's sure he'd never find us

Pull away me lads  O the Cardiff Rose and hoist the  Jolly Roger
DmDm Piano Chord

We brought her into the looward wind and made for the Caribbean

                A7A7 Piano Chord 

For thoughts of what it might have been destroys a human being
DmDm Piano Chord 
                                  GG Piano Chord 
           DmDm Piano Chord 

But thoughts about the Spanish gold and learning to desire it
GG Piano Chord 
             A7A7 Piano Chord 

Can make a man so brash and bold he'll soon become a pirate

Now a gleam came into the captain's eyes as he spied an English

clipper
GG Piano Chord 
              A7A7 Piano Chord 

She looks the perfect shape and size let's all aboard and strip her
DmDm Piano Chord 
                             GG Piano Chord 
                DmDm Piano Chord 

We fired a shot across her bow and eased ourselves beside her
GG Piano Chord 
                     A7A7 Piano Chord 

With our keel as close as she'd allow we swung from the deck to ride
her

                                   CC Piano Chord

           DmDm Piano Chord 

Up she tumbles and starts to pitch  and signals for assistance
GG Piano Chord 
              A7A7 Piano Chord 

We tightened our hold another hitch and ended her resistance
DmDm Piano Chord 
                                             GG Piano Chord 

Now there's many a day  on the Spanish  sea I served aboard that
DmDm Piano Chord 

raider

But we never did nothing more beautifully
GG Piano Chord 
           A7A7 Piano Chord 

Than the way that we belayed her
DmDm Piano Chord 
                                  CC Piano Chord 
          GG Piano Chord 
       DmDm Piano Chord 

Pull away me lads of the Cardiff Rose and hoist the Jolly Roger
DmDm Piano Chord 
                                     GG Piano Chord 

Her hold was hot as St Elmo's fire her chests were filled with
DmDm Piano Chord 

treasure
GG Piano Chord 
                 A7A7 Piano Chord 

We took as much as we'd require then took more for our pleasure
DmDm Piano Chord 

Now there's many a day on the Spanish Main
GG Piano Chord 
               DmDm Piano Chord 

But none I hold so  dear
GG Piano Chord 
           A7A7 Piano Chord 

As the happy day I first became a scurvy buccaneer

Pull away me lads of the Cardif Rose and hoist the Jolly Roger
