Verse 1
C 
G 
Behold the animated sack
C 
With a mud -stained cap stuck flat aback
F 
A creature draped in the garb of Jack
C 
G 
C 
A -swayin' in the doorway
G 
C 
Observe the vomit -laden shoes
G 
C 
The legacy of lavish booze
F 
A mixture of assorted stews
C 
Displaying in the doorway
G 
And note the glassy eyes that peer
C 
In vain pursuit of image clear
F 
The whole assembly  far and near
G 
Surveying from the doorway
C 
G 
Perceive the fingers bloodless white
That clutched the varnished
C 
woodwork tight
F 
Without their aid their owner
G 
Might be layin' in the doorway
C 
F 
G 
But see, with valour born of Drake
C 
Security is thrown at stake
F 
As comes at last the grave mistake
G 
Of straying from the doorway
C 
F 
G 
Watch now, the big begatored four
C 
Are from his resting place the floor,
F 
The guardian of our island's shore,
G 
Conveying through the doorway.
C 
G 
They'll take him to the cabin plain,
C 
With a padlocked door, but all in vain,
F 
Next payday he'll appear again,
G 
C 
Swaying in the doorway.
C 
New reworking of the death and resurrection theme,
that one.
