Mates Together

Afinação: E A D G B ETecla: EmCapotraste: Sem capotraste [Verse 1] Em G When i was young I sailed across the oceans, C G Where I sought to start my life anew Am Em I was bent, to head out on the North Sea D Bm Em As a whaler I set out to be. Em G Went to quench my thirst out in a tavern C G Where I met a British privateer. Am Em Will you put your mark here on my paper? D Bm Em No, says I, and finished my third beer. [Pre-Chorus] Em C D But when I left, a bully in the alley C D Em With his mates, they struck me to the ground Em D Am Em And to their ship, they with me senseless carried. C Bm Em When I woke, my hands and feet were bound. [Chorus] G D Mates together, through stormy weather, Am Em Through gentle breeze and over raging seas G D Free from tether but bound forever C Bm Em I've been fifteen years a privateer. Em G C G Bm Am Em D Bm Em [Verse 2] Em G I was taught to raid the trading Frenchmen, C G Bm For a share I fought for three hard years, Am Em Then sold by captains closest henchmen D Bm Em To a crew of exiled cavaliers. [Pre-Chorus] Em C D So yet again a bully in the alley, C D Em With his mates they struck me to the ground. Em D Am Em And as ships cook, they stuck me in the galley C Bm Em For to feed the sailors all around [Chorus] G D Mates together, through stormy weather, Am Em Through gentle breeze and over raging seas G D Free from tether but bound forever C Bm Em I've been fifteen years a privateer. Em G C G Bm Am Em D Bm Em [Verse 3] Em G So here I am, I'm sailing cross the oceans, C G Bm And no whaler did I come to be. But, Am Em years have past, I've been promoted D Bm Em And since long I'm proud to say I'm free Em G We may have a letter from old Charlie C G Bm That says we English law abide Am Em But don't think we're hunting ships to parley D Bm Em We don't care what colours they may fly. [Pre-Chorus] Em C D So here I am your bully in the alley C D Em Will you kindly come with me a while Em D Am Em You see our ship is stuck in need of sally C Bm Em And I'm lacking neither wile nor guile [Chorus] G D Mates together, through stormy weather, Am Em Through gentle breeze and over raging seas G D Free from tether but bound forever C Bm Em I've been fifteen years a privateer. G D Am Em G D C Bm Em G D Mates together, through stormy weather, Am Em Through gentle breeze and over raging seas G D Free from tether but bound forever C Bm Em I've been fifteen years a privateer. G D Mates together, through stormy weather, Am Em Through gentle breeze and over raging seas G D Free from tether but bound forever C Bm Em I've been fifteen years a privateer.
