Am C A young boy I was barely out of my homeG F E I stepped to the world with a meaning to roamAm C I signed with a captain who promised me goldG F E And adventure to quicken the heart of the boldAm E E7 For fourteen odd years I did struggle aloneAm E E7 For the cause I worked my fingers down to the boneAm E E7 Saw naught but the scuppers saw naught of my payAm E7 Am Then was cast off and sent on my way [Chorus]Am F E A curse upon you, sorrow fall thick and fast!Am F E Your days have been numbered each hour your last!Am E F May the land, sea or sky turn to swallow you whole!Am E7 Am And forer' ner' forget what you stole [Verse 2]Am C I found me some cohorts the bravest and trueG F E No captain was prouder to call such men crewAm C They could rally a cry and the battle was wonG F E I'd face off a cannon if they but looked onAm E E7 The mutinous dogs bound my hands while I sleptAm E E7 Swapped their honor for treasures and gold that we keptAm E E7 Threw me over the side with all kindness I'd shownAm E7 Am Now I vow to sail always alone [Chorus]Am F E A curse upon you, sorrow fall thick and fast!Am F E Your days have been numbered each hour your last!Am E F May the land, sea or sky turn to swallow you whole!Am E7 Am And forer' ner' forget what you stole [Verse 3]Am C I met a fair maiden one round upon shoreG F E I fell for her smile as I'd ner' done beforeAm C I pledged her my world for as long as I livedG F E I'd have offered her more if I had more to giveAm E E7 My pockets she emptied still I offered the restAm E E7 She obliged and then ripped out the heart from my chestAm E E7 She sent me adrift free to float to world's endAm E7 Am With a bottle as my only friend [Chorus]Am F E A curse upon you, sorrow fall thick and fast!Am F E Your days have been numbered each hour your last!Am E F May the land, sea or sky turn to swallow you whole!Am E7 Am And forer' ner' forget what you stole [Verse 4]Am C Now maybe there's some of you wondering henceG F E Not all parts of my life fit together with senseAm C If these are your thoughts allow me to explainG F E Listen close now for I will not say it againAm E E7 I curse you yourself with the doubts that you've shown!Am E E7 For this is my life and I made it my ownAm E E7 Walk a path and you'll have your own stories in timeAm E7 Am Til that day I shall drink just to mine [Chorus]Am F E A curse upon you, sorrow fall thick and fast!Am F E Your days have been numbered each hour your last!Am E F May the land, sea or sky turn to swallow you whole!Am E7 Am And forer' ner' forget what you stole
