Tale Of The Shadow Cifras

[Verse 1]
       Em
I set upon the sea
   D
To search for phantom sails
              Em
from tales my mum told me
  Bm
A ghostly galleon filled with gold,
    Em
she sails alone
   D
No crew nor captain's guiding hand
    Em               Bm               Em
can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow
 
          Em
Sun and horizon met
  D
I weighed the anchor, hoisted sails,
   Em
my course was set
   Bm
My cutthroat crew conspiring
         Em
with the stars our guide
     D
They point the way through perils fraught
    Em             Bm                Em
And lead us to the one they call The Shadow
 
         Em               Bm               Em
None can tame the one the sailors call Thе Shadow
 
 
[Chorus]
C
Lean left! (Lean lеft!)
G
Hard right! (Hard right!)
     Am
Hold tightly to her helm
              Em
She'll try to drown you just for spite
C
Heave, ho! (Heave, ho!)
     G
'til first light! (First light!)
              Em               Bm               Em
She'll give a fight to all who try to claim The Shadow
         Em               Bm               Em
None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow
 
 
[Verse 2]
         Em
A mighty tempest grew
    D
The banshee cried "Turn back!"
          Em
but our resolve was true
   Bm           D
We pointed bow ahead and shouted
 Em
"We'll break through!"
    D
The jaws of hell can't hold us back
        Em               Bm               Em
There's nothing that can keep us from The Shadow
 
               Em
The winds blew stronger still
    D
The ocean raged against us,
         Em
tried to break our will
    Bm            D
The sirens in the water
        Em
thirsty for the kill
    D
Our vessel reeling to and fro
   Em             Bm                Em
to bear us to the one they call The Shadow
 
         Em               Bm                Em
None can keep us from the one they call The Shadow
 
 
[Chorus]
C
Lean left! (Lean lеft!)
G
Hard right! (Hard right!)
     Am
Hold tightly to her helm
              Em
She'll try to drown you just for spite
C
Heave, ho! (Heave, ho!)
     G
'til first light! (First light!)
              Em               Bm               Em
She'll give a fight to all who try to claim The Shadow
         Em               D                Em
None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow
 
 
[Verse 3]
           Em
As thunder split the sky
    D
The lightning drew a shape
           Em
beyond the tempest's eye
  Bm                   D
A chill ran through me spine
          Em
as legend came alive
  D                                  Em
"Avast!", I cried all hands as we prepare
            Bm                Em
to take the one they call The Shadow
 
(ALL HANDS!!!)

[Bridge]
        Em
As we approached her shell
    D
The skies went silent, seas went calm
   Em
as if by spell
   Bm
No signs of fight or flight were in her
Em
All was well
  D
Until I tried to take her helm…
 
    Em
Her rigging came alive
            Em
She hung my crew before me eyes
             Em
She stole my sight and cursed me
D              Em
Captain of The Shadow
            Em
She took my eyes and cursed me
D              Em
Captain of The Shadow
 
 
[Chorus]
C
Lean left! (Lean left!)
G
Hard right! (Hard right!)
      Am
Steer clear of her, I fear she'll eat your
Em
soul, she'll take your life
C
Heave, ho! (Heave, ho!)
     G
'til first light! (First light!)
                 Em                 Bm
She'll claim the souls of those who try
            Em
to tame The Shadow
         Em               Bm               Em
None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow
         Em               D                Em
None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow
