Privateering Mark Knopfler
An easy take on "Privateering". Probably not 100 % accurate but works fine. Maybe
there's another bass note somewhere.
Capo 3
Y[Am]on's my privateer see how trim she lies
To every man a lucky hand and to every man a prize
I live to ride the ocean the migh[C]ty world ar[G]ound
T[Am]o take a little plunder and to he[G]ar the cannon s[Am]ound
To l[F]ay with pretty w[C]omen
to drink Madeira [G]wine[Dsus2]
t[Am]o hear the roller's thunder on a s[G]hore that isn't [Am]mine
P[Am]rivateering, we will go
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
Privateering, we will go
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
T[Am]he people on your man o'war are treated worse than scum
I'm no flogging Captain my God I've sailed with some
Come with me to Barbary we'll p[C]ly there up and d[G]own
N[Am]ot quite exactly in the service o[G]f the Cr[Am]own
To l[F]ay with pretty w[C]omen
to drink Madeira [G]wine[Dsus2]
t[Am]o hear the roller's thunder on a s[G]hore that isn't [Am]mine
P[Am]rivateering, we will go
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
Privateering, we will go
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
L[Am]ook here there's my privateer she's small but she can sting
Licensed to take prizes with a letter from the King
I love the streets and taverns of a pr[C]etty foreign t[G]own
t[Am]ip my hat to the dark eyed ladies as we s[G]ally up and [Am]down
To l[F]ay with pretty w[C]omen
to drink Madeira [G]wine[Dsus2]
t[Am]o hear the roller's thunder on a s[G]hore that isn't [Am]mine
P[Am]rivateering, we will go
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
Privateering, we will go
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
B[Am]ritannia needs her privateers each time she goes to war
Death to all her enemies no prizes matter more
Come with me to Barbary we'll p[C]ly there up and d[G]own
N[Am]ot quite exactly in the service o[G]f the Cr[Am]own
To l[F]ay with pretty w[C]omen
to drink Madeira [G]wine[Dsus2]
t[Am]o hear the roller's thunder on a s[G]hore that isn't [Am]mine
P[Am]rivateering, we will go
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
Privateering, we will go
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
