[Intro]
D5
As our ships sails under moonlight
D5
The mighty north-wind blows
D5
There's a scream come from the cabin
D5
Not a sailor could have known
A
Is it he who killed the captain?
A
Is it he who cut him down?
A
Is our masquerade not over?
D5 D5/C D5
Has the king not found his crown?
[Verse 2]
D5
See I'm a man of quick decisions
D5
A farmer from the west
D5
I will find the captains murderer
D5
And I will fight him for the rest
A
So if I die, burn the bridges
A
If I don't, ring the bell
A
Cause we will drag his bloody body
D5 D5/C D5
We will hang it from the sails
[Chorus]
F C Dm
Cause I won't be home for your winter
F C Dm
No, I won't be home for your spring
F C Dm Bb
If the good Lord comes to find this body here of mine
A D5 D5/C D5 D5/C D5
He will see, yes he will see
[Verse 3]
D5
See there was blood upon the window
D5
The thunder rolled on by
D5
When we saw the lightning coming
D5
We heard the farmer cry
A
"Swim for shore, cause I'm a dead man
A
Burn the boat to the ground!
A
I've got the devil in my bosom
D5 D5/C D5 D5/C D5
And god can't save me now"

Cause I won't be home for your winter

If the good Lord comes to find this body here of mine

He will see, yes he will see
[Verse 4]
D5
That was the last time we had seen him
D5
The ship sank to the sea
D5
And if you listen to the wind blow
D5
You'll hear the farmer scream
A
"Swim for shore, cause I'm a dead man
A
Burn the boat to the ground!
A
I've got the devil in my bosom
D5 D5/C D5
God, no god can't save me now"
[Chorus]
F C Dm
Cause I won't be home for your winter
F C Dm
And I won't be home for your spring
F C Dm Bb
If the good Lord comes to find this body here of mine
A
He will see
F C Dm Bb
If the good Lord comes to find this body here of mine
A D5
He will see, yes he will see
