Down she goes, to Davy Jones
Down she goes, to Davy Jones
Down she goes, to Davy Jones
Down she goes, to Davy Jones
We set aside our normal lives, to dress in hats and beards.
To sing of guns and Krakens with our tankards full of beer.
No more working 9 to 5, we’ll stick it to the man.
We’ll raise the anchor, change the tiers and sail across the land.
Now if you wanna quit your job, and live a life of crime.
Have a blast everyday, be happy all the time.
Trade your tie and works shoes, with the lady at the bar.
Grow out your hair and mustache, we’re going wide and far.
Raise your beer above your head and sing along with me.
Gather up your hats and beards and meet me at the Quay.
whenever we are on the land, we're dreaming of the sea.
Come join a bunch of pirates of the 21st century.
Instrumental.
Raise your beer above your head and sing along with me.
Gather up your hats and beards and meet me at the Quay.
Coz whenever we are on the land, we're dreaming of the sea.
Come join a bunch of pirates of the 21st century.
Instrumental.

Am - C - E7 - Am
Sailing round the world, for there is where we came.
Ships and Wrecks and Gold and Death, it’s all the fucking same.
Now I sit before you, telling you my tail.
You’ve probably heard a thousand times, but it aint getting stale.
G - C - E7 - Am
I’m a Pirate on the ocean, and that's where I belong.
Only docking on the land, when the rum is gone.
And then we stop to get our stock, so we can drink again.
Lads, get this anchor raisen, and hoist up the mizzen.
Solo - Am - C - E7 - Am
Am - C - E7 - Am
We go from port to port, JollyRoger never stays.
North and South and East and West, it's all the fucking same.
2 fingers for the navy, 1 finger for the queen.
2 for the blue and 1 in the goo, it's a pirate's life for me.
G - C - E7 - Am
I’m a Pirate on the ocean, and that's where I belong.
Only docking on the land, when the rum is gone.
And then we stop to get our stock, so we can drink again.
Lads, get this anchor raisen, and hoist up the mizzen.
Solo - Am - C - E7 - Am
Am - C - E7 - Am
And when I start me drinking, don't spect me to behave.
Beer and Rum and … Umm… and Rum, it's a pirate's life for me.
Barrels of the stuff we love, it never is enough.
Staggering from stern to bow, the sea aint even rough.
G - C - E7 - Am
I’m a Pirate on the ocean, and that's where I belong.
Only docking on the land, when the rum is gone.
He’s a pirate on the ocean, and that's where he belongs.
Only docking on the land, when the rum is gone.
We are pirates on the ocean, and that's where we belong.
Only docking on the land, when the rum is gone.
And when we stop to get our stock, so we can drink again.
Lads, get this anchor raisen, and hoist up the mizzen.

Jimmy
03:05
|
|||
He’s always at the Bar
He’s always at the Bar
And when we call upon him, he is always at the bar
He left his house and wife and kids and never got too far
He’s always at the bar
Sweet Jimmy’s, always at the bar
Jimmy was the kind of man, that's known around the town
He wed his high-school sweetheart and they bought ‘The Sword and Crown’
Quiet nights did change, pitter patter on the ground
Pitter Patter on the ground, it was his favorite sound
He’s always at the Bar
He’s always at the Bar
And when we call upon him, he is always at the bar
He left his house and wife and kids and never got too far
He’s always at the bar
Sweet Jimmy’s, always at the bar
Jimmy was a happy man, he had a handsome smile
And if you needed help from him he’d go the extra mile
His house and wife and pub and kids were doing really well
That's where his story stops.. Or as he likes to tell
He’s always at the Bar
He’s always at the Bar
And when we call upon him, he is always at the bar
He left his house and wife and kids and never got too far
He’s always at the bar
Sweet Jimmy’s, always at the bar
One night Jimmy stumbled and dropped his cigarette
And that's the night Jimmy will live to regret
Everything was gone along with his luck
He picks up the bottle and didn’t give a fuck.
Jimmy didn’t give a fuck
He’s always at the Bar
He’s always at the Bar
And when we call upon him, he is always at the bar
He left his house and wife and kids and never got too far
He’s always at the Bar
Sweet Jimmy’s, always at the Bar
He’s always at the Bar
He’s always at the Bar
And when we call upon him, he is always at the bar
He left his house and wife and kids and never got too far
He’s always at the bar
Sweet Jimmy’s, always at the bar
JIMMY!

Fisherman's Girl
03:24

Our eyes first met in 65
sat on the harbour wall
I knew right then she was my world
I saw her next in fall
And we kissed goodbye
And I/he set sail
she/he stands upon the quay
My lovely girl/man with windswept hair will always wait for me
There he stood with curly locks
And eyes a deep sea green
Her beauty takes my breath away
She's pretty as can be
And we kissed goodbye
And I/he set sail
she/he stands upon the quay
My lovely girl/man with windswept hair will always wait for me
Years go by some at sea
Some home with my lass
The best I had were with my girl
They seem to go so fast
He never seemed to be home long
My favorite company
I wish he could have stayed home more
But they called him back to see
And we kissed goodbye
And I set sail
she/he stands upon the quay
My lovely girl/man with windswept hair will always wait for me
she/he’s older now and so am i
But she/he ‘s still got my heart
We sit upon the harbour wall
And watch the ships depart
And they kiss goodbye
The men set sail
With girls upon the quay
My lovely girl/man with windswept hair turns and smiles at me
My lovely girl/man with windswept hair turns and smiles at me

Won't Ride a Horse
02:24
|

Let me introduce to you the crew that we’ve amast
Bos’n Mongo lost his foot he’s going nowhere fast
Captain Salmon’s at the helm with Weasel at his side
When we are all in one place the taps they will run dry
Won’t stop drinking all the pirates beer
And I won’t stop drinking all the pirates beer
Won’t stop drinking all the pirates beer
And we stop drinking all the pirates beer
The day was drawing to a close, our destination set
This plan to rob this english boat was anything but wet
To sail across the glassy sea, use cover of the night
To board this vessel seamlessly and give them all a fright
Won’t play a song when the cap’n’s near
And I won’t play a song when the cap’n’s near
Won’t play a song when the cap’n’s near
And I Won’t play a song when the cap’n’s near
Some shore leave that will do me well our ship pulls into port
A night of rum out with the lads our drinking is a sport
To make it to the inn to sleep I need a noble steed
The phillies have been taken but I’ll find just what I need
Won’t ride a horse but I’ll ride a deer
And I won’t ride a horse but I’ll ride a deer
Won’t ride a horse but I’ll ride a deer
And I Won’t ride a horse but I’ll ride a deer
Instrumental - Solo
Won’t stop drinking all the pirates beer
And I won’t stop dancing like a musketeer
Won’t sing a long coz the words ain’t clear
And I won’t share a boat with a mutineer
Wont play a song when the cap’n’s near
And I won't ride a horse but I'll ride a deer
Won't ride a horse but I'll ride a deer
Cus JollyRoger’s here and we need a beer.

Breathe
03:45

Breathe, breathe, a last breath
I’m caught up in the nets
Drag me down to the depths
My mental shipwreck
Sink or swim they told me
The weak can be the brave
Let go of your mooring
We can make a change
We won’t dig a grave
As we run for our lives
Crawl out of the blame
It's time that you were right.
Bridge
Chorus instr
Breathe, breathe, a last breath
I’m caught up in the nets
Drag me down to the depths
My mental shipwreck
We're here in this hole We,
Need help, so join the game
It's not all dark and stormy
Don’t need guilt or shame
Noone is to blame
So swim with the tide
We may feel the same,
With darkness as our guide.
Breathe, breathe, a last breath
I’m caught up in the nets
Drag me down to the depths
My mental shipwreck

Silent Mountain
03:34
|

Even when the wind is howling,
Storms are raging, thunders sounding,
Hearts are pounding, Cox is counting,
….. We row the silent mountain.
Launch our boat off the beach, into the mighty sea,
Pull the oar and grit our teeth, its knackering our knees,
One stroke closer to the end let's make it long and strong,
Cut right through the rising swell before the sun comes down,
Before the sun comes down,
Before the sun comes down.
We row, row silent mountain
We row, row silent mountain
We row, row silent mountain
We row, row silent mountain
Feel the blisters on our hands beneath our shredding gloves,
Feeling strong, we moan and groan, this is the sport we love,
One stroke closer to the end let's make it long and strong,
Cut right through the rising swell before the sun comes down,
Before the sun comes down,
Before the sun comes down.
We row, row silent mountain x4
Nearly back at the shore our clothes are soaking wet,
We row this boat for a man will never will forget,
One stroke closer to the end let's make it long and strong,
Cut right through the rising swell before the sun comes down,
Before the sun comes down,
Before the sun comes down.
We row, row silent mountain x4
Even when the wind is howling,
Storms are raging, thunders sounding,
Hearts are pounding, Cox is counting,
….. We row the silent mountain x4
We row, row silent mountain x4

This lad once had a problem, He came and sat by me.
I was drinkin in me local Bar, Thinkin of the sea.
He popped his tankard on a stool, and showed me its full brim.
The beer did disappear, with a sloopy yellow grin.
F - G - E - Am
I’ve not got a drinking problem, There's a problem with my glass.
I’ll say its broke before I choke, And fall upon me ass.
So have a think and realise, That you are just the same.
Or have a drink and be surprised, That you forgot me name.

So as you see, he said to me, Me tankards got a hole.
Every time I fill it up, The beer will end up gone.
So do this lad a favor, Spare a penny for some grog.
Tomorrow’ll be sick, With this party trick, and stuck upon the bog.

About a week, It took to steep, around about my head.
Couldn't put me finger on it, What that lad had said.
So as I sat upon the bar, to think and drink bout it.
I raise me tankard have a sip, there's was nothing but a drip.

Born a Pirate

I sail across the ocean and I sail it everyday
Come across a keg of beer, I’ll drink it right away
If I see another ship, i’ll sink it where it lays
Cause I was born a pirate and thats how its gunna stay
So grab your coat and grab youR beer, I’ll show you piracy
The waters gonna teach you how to live your live for free
Always on the lookout for new land beyond the hawk
If you really listen you will find the sea will talk
The sirens and the wind will guide you where you oughta dock
Cause I was born a pirate and pirates fucking rock
So grab your coat and grab you beer, I’ll show you piracy
The waters gonna teach you how to live your live for free
Deep blue ocean gives us what we will desire
Sometimes when it doesn't we will steal from someone higher
When you are a pirate you are born a brilliant lier
I was born a pirate I’m a fucking sea missire
So grab your coat and grab you beer, I’ll show you piracy
The waters gonna teach you how to live your live for free
