Intro: Em Cm B7
Em Cm B7
Em
You're mumbling words
Cm
But I can't hear anymore
B7
You're totally entertained
That I am absolutely bored
Em
To the sharks with your conversation
Cm
And see what they say
B7
As you're thrown overboard
Em
And disappear into the waves
( C7 B7 Em B7 C B7 )
Em
Down to Neptune's kingdom
And the ink-black drink
Cm
Octopus bartenders
B7
You can hear the mermaids sing
Em
That'll teach you all to try and disobey
Cm B7
Here's a one-way ticket to your watery grave
And we say
Em
To all our enemies, we'll see you in hell
Am B7
We're gonna walk 'em off the plank into the wishing well
Em
Down to Davy Jones' Locker where the fishes sleep
Am B7
I won't be praying for you so don't be praying for me
Em
To all our enemies, we'll see you in hell
Am B7
We're gonna walk 'em off the plank into the wishing well
Em
Down to Davy Jones' Locker where the fishes sleep
Am B7
I won't be praying for you so don't be praying
A B7 Em
Don't be praying for me
( Cm B7 Em )
( Cm B7 )
Em Cm
Kill all those prisoners until their skin turns green
B7 Em
Let the salts of the ocean wash them skeleton clean
Raise up those oars and let them fall
Cm B7
As the wind steadily sings you can hear the crew call
Em
To all our enemies, we'll see you in hell
Am B7
We're gonna walk 'em off the plank into the wishing well
Em
Down to Davy Jones' Locker where the fishes sleep
Am B7
I won't be praying for you so don't be praying for me
Em
To all our enemies, we'll see you in hell
Am B7
We're gonna walk 'em off the plank into the wishing well
Em
Down to Davy Jones' Locker where the fishes sleep
Am B7
I won't be praying for you so don't be praying
A B7 Em
Don't be praying for me
