Alestorm Keelhauled Lyrics

Intro: Bbm Bbm Bbm Bbm Ab (x2)
After violin starts: Bbm Bbm Db Ab
Repeat this a few times and then when there is a sort of stop just before where
the guitar comes in play F instead of Ab
Then repeat the phrase a few more times
My friends I stand before you
To tell a truth most dire
There lurks a traitor in our midsts
Who has invoked the captain's ire
He don't deserve no mercy
We ought to shoot him with a gun
But I am not an evil man
So first lets have a little fun
We'll tie that scoundrel to a rope and throw him overboard
Drag him underneath the ship
A terrifying deadly trip
Keelhaul that filthy landlubber
Send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank
Db Ab Eb C Bb A Bb (this line is only single notes)
With a bottle of rum and a yo ho ho
I will not say what he has done
His sins are far too grave to tell
It's not my place to judge a man
But for them he will burn in hell
The sharks will dine upon his flesh
And Davy Jones will have his soul
Take his money and his hat
He won't need them where he's gonna go
But first lets tie him to a rope and throw him overboard
Drag him underneath the ship
A terrifying deadly trip
Keelhaul that filthy landlubber
Send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank
Db Ab Eb C Bb A Bb (this line is only single notes)
With a bottle of rum and a yo ho ho
Then play the last line again to end the song
