[Verse 1]
G C Am G
Well, the year was Seventeen Seventy Eight
G C G Am7
(I wish I was in Edinburgh now!)
G D G Em
When the letter of marque was sent frae the king
G Am Em C
To the scummiest vessel I'd ever seen
[Chorus]
G
God damn them all!
C G C G C
I was told we'd sail the seas for American gold
G C/G
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
G C G C
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
Am D G
The last of Barrett's Privateers
[Verse 2]
G C Am G
Twas then Sid Barrett cried the town
G C G Am7
(I wish I was in Edinburgh now!)
G D G Em
For twenty men all fishermen who
G Am Em C
Would make for him the Antelope's crew
[Chorus]
G
God damn them all!
C G C G C
I was told we'd sail the seas for American gold
G C/G
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
G C G C
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
Am D G
The last of Barrett's Privateers
[Verse 3]
G C Am G
The Antelope sloop was a sickening sight,
G C G Am7
(I wish I was in Edinburgh now!)
G D G Em
With a list to port and her sails in rags
G Am Em C
And the cook in scuppers with the staggers and the jags
[Chorus]
G
God damn them all!
C G C G C
I was told we'd sail the seas for American gold
G C/G
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
G C G C
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
Am D G
The last of Barrett's Privateers
[Verse 4]
G C Am G
On the King's birthday we sailed away,
G C G Am7
(I wish I was in Edinburgh now!)
G D G Em
When a great big Yankee hove in sight
G Am Em C
With our cracked four pounders we made to fight
[Chorus]
G
God damn them all!
C G C G C
I was told we'd sail the seas for American gold
G C/G
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
G C G C
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
Am D G
The last of Barrett's Privateers
[Verse 5]
G C Am G
The Yankee lay low down with gold
G C G Am7
(I wish I was in Edinburgh now!)
G D G Em
She was low and fat and loose in the stays
G Am Em C
But to catch her took the Antelope two whole days
[Chorus]
G
God damn them all!
C G C G C
I was told we'd sail the seas for American gold
G C/G
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
G C G C
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
Am D G
The last of Barrett's Privateers
[Verse 6]
G C Am G
Then at length we stood two cables away
G C G Am7
(I wish I was in Edinburgh now!)
G D G Em
Our cracked four pounders made an awful din
G Am Em C
But with one fat ball the Yank stove us in
[Chorus]
G
God damn them all!
C G C G C
I was told we'd sail the seas for American gold
G C/G
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
G C G C
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
Am D G
The last of Barrett's Privateers
[Verse 7]
G C Am G
The Antelope shook and pitched on her side
G C G Am7
(I wish I was in Edinburgh now!)
G D G Em
Barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs
G Am Em C
And the Maintruck took away both ma legs
[Chorus]
G
God damn them all!
C G C G C
I was told we'd sail the seas for American gold
G C/G
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
G C G C
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
Am D G
The last of Barrett's Privateers
[Verse 8]
G C Am G
So here I lay in my 23rd year
G C G Am7
(I wish I was in Edinburgh now!)
G D G Em
6 years since we sailed away
G Am Em C
And I just made Halifax yesterday
[Chorus]
G
God damn them all!
C G C G C
I was told we'd sail the seas for American gold
G C/G
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
G C G C
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
