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. Break Down Cm B Cm Down she goes, to Davy Jones Down she goes, to Davy Jones Down she goes, to Davy Jones Down she goes, to Davy Jones 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.

Intro Solo --- Am - C - E7 - Am. 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. Solo - Am - C - E7 - Am Solo - Am - C - E7 - Am

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!

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

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

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

about

Capt'n JR (Jae Dennis - Guitar, Ukulele, Harmonica and Vocals)

The Lady of the Sea (Sammantha Hannah - Guitar, Mandolin and Vocals)

Bos’n Two Toes (Smooth) (Kynan - Bass and Vocals)


In the misty port of Penzance in Cornwall - England, The Lady of the Sea and Bos’n Two Toes met with their friend Emma. Emma was to be celebrating her day of birth on the following weekend. Our pair of Pirates decided to offer their services (and the services of Capt'n JR unbeknownst to him) of musical entertainment for the night. After a day’s sail, the two broke the news to the Captain. Unwavered by the task that lay ahead and the little time that they had, Capt'n agreed and the three set to work. God made the world in 7 days, our three protagonists made JollyRoger in 6. The universe that they had created sucked them in and they hung up their cutlasses, exchanged their galeon for a land sail (named Hubert Cumberdale) and have taken to a life of music. Come and take a dip into the piratey folk/rock ocean, the water is lovely!
