Verse 1
Oh, (D major) the year was 1778,
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke (A major) now!
When (D major) a letter of Mark
came from the King,
To the scummiest vessel I've ever seen,
(G major) God damn (D major) them all!
I was (G major) told we'd (D major) cruise the seas
for American gold, (G major)
(D major) We'd fire no guns, shed no (G major) tears,
Now I'm a (D major) broken man (G major) on a (D major) Hali (G major) fax pier,
The last of Bar (D major) rett's privateers.
Now Elf Sid Barrett cried to town
How I wish I was (G major) in (D major) Sherbrooke (A major) now
For (G major) twenty (D major) bold men, all fishermen
Who (G major) (D major) would make for him
the antelope's (G major) crew
God (D major) damn them all
I was (G major) told we'd (D major) the (G major) seas
(D major) For American gold
(G major) we'd (D major) fire no guns, shed no (G major) tears
Now I'm a (D major) broken man (G major) (D major) on a Halifax (G major) pier
The last of Bar (D major) rett's privateers
Now the antelope's (G major) loop
(D major) was a sickening sight
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke (A major) now
Shed (D major) a list of the port
and the sails in rags
And the cook and the scappers
with staggers and jags
(G major) God (D major) damn (G major) them (D major) all
I was (G major) told we'd (D major) cruise the (G major) seas
(D major) for American gold
(G major) We'd (D major) fire no guns, shed no (G major) tears
Now I'm (D major) a broken man (G major) (D major) on a Halifax (G major) pier
The last of Bar (D major) rett's privateers
On the king's birthday we put to sea
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke (A major) now
We (D major) were in 91 days to Montego Bay
Pumping like madmen all the way
God damn them all
I was (G major) told we'd (D major) cruise the seas
for American gold
(G major) We'd (D major) fire no guns, shed no (G major) tears
Now (D major) I'm a broken man on a Halifax (G major) pier
The last of Bar (D major) rett's privateers
On the 96th day we sailed again
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke (A major) now
When (G major) a (D major) bloody great Yan
(G major) kee hove in sight
With a (D major) cracked four (G major) pounders
we (D major) made to fight (G major)
God (D major) damn them all
I was (G major) told we'd (D major) cruise the seas
for American gold
(G major) We'd (D major) fire no guns, (G major) (D major) shed (G major) no tears
Now I'm (D major) a broken man (G major) (D major) on a Halifax (G major) pier
The last of Bar (D major) rett's privateers
Now the Yankee lay (G major) low down (D major) with gold
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke (A major) now
(D major) She was (G major) broad (D major) and fat and loose in stays
But to catch her took the
antelope two whole days
God damn them all
I was (G major) told we (D major) cruised the (G major) seas
(D major) for American gold
(G major) We'd (D major) fire no guns, shed no (G major) tears
Now I'm a (D major) broken man (G major) on a (D major) Halifax (G major) pier
The last of Bar (D major) rett's privateers
Then at length (G major) we lay two cables away
(D major) How I wish I was in Sherbrooke (A major) now
(D major) I (G major) (D major) cracked four pounds
and spent an awful din
But with one fat ball the (G major) Yanks stole for sin
(D major) God damn them all
I was (G major) told we'd (D major) cruise the (G major) seas
(D major) for American gold
(G major) We'd (D major) fire no guns, shed no (G major) tears
Now I'm a (D major) broken man (G major) on a (D major) Halifax (G major) pier
The last of Bar (D major) rett's privateers
Now the antelope shook and
pitched on her side
How I wish I was (G major) in (D major) Sherbrooke (A major) now
(D major) Bar (G major) rett (D major) was smashed like a bowl of eggs
And the main track carried
off both me legs
God damn them all
I was (G major) told we'd (D major) cruise the (G major) seas
(D major) for American gold
(G major) We'd (D major) fire no guns, shed no (G major) tears
Now I'm a (D major) broken man (G major) (D major) on a Halifax (G major) pier
The last of Bar (D major) rett's privateers
So now I sit in my 23rd (D major) year
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke (A major) now
It's (D major) been six years since we sailed away
And I just made Halifax yesterday
God (D major) damn them all
I was (G major) told we'd (D major) cruise the seas
for American gold
(G major) We'd (D major) fire no guns, shed no (G major) tears
(D major) Now (G major) I'm a (D major) broken man (G major) on a Halifax pier
The last of Bar (D major) rett's privateers
