Verse 1
(E minor) (C sharpdim) (E minor) The black (E major) spot is
(E minor) (E major) what you get,
when (E minor) a pirate you (E major) upset.
A decision (B major) you live to regret,
(E minor) but (B major) not for (E major) too long.
(E minor) The (E major) black (B major) spot awaits all those
double -crossing slimy toads
Who have contravened
the (C sharp major) pirate (F sharp major) code (D sharp minor)
(B major) and done their crew wrong
(E major) The (E minor) black spot's (E major) a sickening sight,
turns your hair completely (B major) (E major) white
If you don't (E minor) die instantly (B major) of (E minor) fright,
(E major) Heaven help (A minor) you!
It's no empty (C major) idle (A minor) threat, (B major)
So pay (E major) up (E minor) your (C major) gambling debt (B flatdim) s,
Or the (B major) fifty -third card (F sharp major) in the (B major) deck
Will be (E minor) dealt (E major) you. (E minor) (F major)
When you're (F minor) (F major) by the black spot cursed
(F minor) Your (F major) (F minor) blood (F major) boils and your veins burst
You (F minor) can (F major) drink and (F minor) drink and (C major) still
Your thirst (F minor) is (C major) un (F major) quench (F minor) able
You (F major) get (C major) pustules on your face
On your legs, arms, chest and waist
You will itch and itch and (D minor) itch in
(E minor) places (C major) unmention (F major) able (F minor)
You're (F major) af flicted with the pox
Bits of you keep falling off
An (F minor) (F major) d you get a rather (C major) chesty (F minor) cough
(F major) Which is (B flat minor) never nice
You get nosebleeds that won't (C major) stop
Your ex (F minor) tremit (D flat major) ies all (B major) rot
Anybody (C major) who re (D minor) ceives (G major) the (E minor) spot
pays (C major) a (F minor) heavy price. (F major) (F minor) (G flat major)
Let the black spot be attached
to an arrow and dispatched
Through the portal or (D flat major) the entry
(G flat minor) hatch of (D flat major) his (G flat major) galleon.
Wish me (D flat major) luck, wave me goodbye
No first mate, just me this time
Sometimes sorrows come in (E flat minor) single spies, (F minor)
(D flat major) not bat (G flat major) talions
When the black spot he is shown
He will gasp and he will groan
He will (G flat minor) (G flat major) scream (G flat minor) an (D flat major) d
(G flat minor) go all (G flat major) to (B major) pieces
(B minor) And there's much, much worse in (C sharp major) store
For the (F sharp minor) pirate who ignored
(Cdim) His two (C sharp major) sweet, (D sharp minor) ad or (C sharp major) able nieces (F sharp major)
You and (F sharp major) Mises (B major) (F sharp minor) you
