Privateering Mark Knopfler
Yon'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[Eb]ty world aro[Bb]und
T[Cm]o take a little plunder and to he[Bb]ar the cannon so[Cm]und
To l[Ab]ay with pretty wo[Eb]men
to drink Madeira [Bb]wine[Fsus2]
t[Cm]o hear the roller's thunder on a s[Bb]hore that isn't m[Cm]ine
P[Cm]rivateering, we will go
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
Privateering, we will go
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
T[Cm]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[Eb]ly there up and do[Bb]wn
N[Cm]ot quite exactly in the service o[Bb]f the Cro[Cm]wn
To l[Ab]ay with pretty wo[Eb]men
to drink Madeira [Bb]wine[Fsus2]
t[Cm]o hear the roller's thunder on a s[Bb]hore that isn't m[Cm]ine
P[Cm]rivateering, we will go
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
Privateering, we will go
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
L[Cm]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[Eb]etty foreign to[Bb]wn
t[Cm]ip my hat to the dark eyed ladies as we s[Bb]ally up and d[Cm]own
To l[Ab]ay with pretty wo[Eb]men
to drink Madeira [Bb]wine[Fsus2]
t[Cm]o hear the roller's thunder on a s[Bb]hore that isn't m[Cm]ine
P[Cm]rivateering, we will go
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
Privateering, we will go
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
B[Cm]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[Eb]ly there up and do[Bb]wn
N[Cm]ot quite exactly in the service o[Bb]f the Cro[Cm]wn
To l[Ab]ay with pretty wo[Eb]men
to drink Madeira [Bb]wine[Fsus2]
t[Cm]o hear the roller's thunder on a s[Bb]hore that isn't m[Cm]ine
P[Cm]rivateering, we will go
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
Privateering, we will go
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
