This is the second full song I've learned on my ukulele. (I haven't recorded the first yet 'cause it's significantly harder) I LOVE Great Big Sea so much that they inspired the name of my Guild on WoW. This was the first song I heard of theirs and I love it. ;D
The chords used are C, Csus, G, and F
Here are the lyrics with the tabs:
C Csus4 C
C Csus4 C
Chorus:
***
My (C)name is (Csus4)Captain (C)Kidd
as I (C)sailed as I (G)sailed
Oh my my (C)name is (Csus4)Captain (C)Kidd
as I (G)sailed
My (F)name is Captain Kidd
and God's (C)laws I did (G)forbid
and most (C)wickedly I (G)did as I (C)sailed
C Csus4 C
C Csus4 C
***
My (C)father (Csus4)taught me (C)well
to (C)shun the gates of (G)hell
but (C)against him (Csus4)I (C)rebelled
as I (G)sailed
He shoved a (C)bible (Csus4)in my (C)hand
but I (C)left it in the (G)sand
and I (C)pulled (Csus4)away from (C)land
as I (G)sailed...
***Chorus***
I (C)murdered (Csus4)William (C)Moore
and I (C)left him in his (G)gore
twenty (C)leagues (Csus4)away from (C)shore
as I (G)sailed
and (C)being (Csus4)crueler (C)still
his (C)gunner I did (G)kill
Oh, his (C)precious (Csus4)blood did (C)spill
as I (G)sailed...
***Chorus***
I was (C)sick and (Csus4)nigh to (C)death
and I (C)vowed at every (G)breath
Oh, to (C)walk in (Csus4)wisdom's (C)path
as I (G)sailed
But my (C)repentance (Csus4)lasted (C)not
my (C)vows I soon (G)forgot
Oh (C)damnation (Csus4)is my (C)lot
as I (G)sailed...
***Chorus***
To the (C)exec- (Csus4)-cution (C)dock
Lay my (C)head upon the (G)block
The (C)laws no (Csus4)more I'll (C)mock
as I (G)sailed
So take (C)warning (Csus4)here and (C)heed
to (C)shun bad (G)company
or you'll (C)wind up (Csus4)just like (C)me
as I (G)sailed...
***Chorus***
