[Verse 1]
 
 Am
Yon's my privateer, see how trim she lies
 
To every man a lucky hand and to every man a prize
                                  C          G
I live to ride the ocean, the mighty world around
 Am                               G              Am
To take a little plunder and to hear the cannon sound
 
    F               C
To lay with pretty women
                 G        Dsus2
to drink Madeira wine
 Am                                G               Am
to hear the roller's thunder on a shore that isn't mine
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 Am
Privateering, we will go
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
Privateering, we will go
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
 Am
The people on your man o'war are treated worse than scum
 
I'm no flogging Captain, my God I've sailed with some
                                C                G
Come with me to Barbary, we'll ply there up and down
 Am                               G       Am
Not quite exactly in the service of the Crown
 
    F               C
To lay with pretty women
                 G        Dsus2
to drink Madeira wine
 Am                                G               Am
to hear the roller's thunder on a shore that isn't mine
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 Am
Privateering, we will go
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
Privateering, we will go
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
 Am
Look here there's my privateer, she's small but she can sting
 
Licensed to take prizes with a letter from the King
                                      C             G
I love the streets and taverns of a pretty foreign town
 Am                                       G           Am
tip my hat to the dark eyed ladies as we sally up and down
 
    F               C
To lay with pretty women
                 G        Dsus2
to drink Madeira wine
 Am                                G               Am
to hear the roller's thunder on a shore that isn't mine
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 Am
Privateering, we will go
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
Privateering, we will go
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
 Am
Britannia needs her privateers each time she goes to war
 
Death to all her enemies though prizes matter more
                                C                G
Come with me to Barbary, we'll ply there up and down
 Am                               G       Am
Not quite exactly in the service of the Crown
 
    F               C
To lay with pretty women
                 G        Dsus2
to drink Madeira wine
 Am                                G               Am
to hear the roller's thunder on a shore that isn't mine
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 Am
Privateering, we will go
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
Privateering, we will go
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
