The Curse
The Longest Johns
Am
(início)
Am C A young boy I was barely out of my home G F E I stepped to the world with a meaning to roam Am C I signed with a captain who promised me gold G F E And adventure to quicken the heart of the bold Am E E7 For fourteen odd years I did struggle alone Am E E7 For the cause I worked my fingers down to the bone Am E E7 Saw naught but the scuppers saw naught of my pay Am E7 Am Then was cast off and sent on my way
Chorus
Am F E A curse upon you, sorrow fall thick and fast! Am F E Your days have been numbered each hour your last! Am E F May the land, sea or sky turn to swallow you whole! Am E7 Am And forer' ner' forget what you stole
Verse 2
Am C I found me some cohorts the bravest and true G F E No captain was prouder to call such men crew Am C They could rally a cry and the battle was won G F E I'd face off a cannon if they but looked on Am E E7 The mutinous dogs bound my hands while I slept Am E E7 Swapped their honor for treasures and gold that we kept Am E E7 Threw me over the side with all kindness I'd shown Am E7 Am Now I vow to sail always alone
Chorus
Am F E A curse upon you, sorrow fall thick and fast! Am F E Your days have been numbered each hour your last! Am E F May the land, sea or sky turn to swallow you whole! Am E7 Am And forer' ner' forget what you stole
Verse 3
Am C I met a fair maiden one round upon shore G F E I fell for her smile as I'd ner' done before Am C I pledged her my world for as long as I lived G F E I'd have offered her more if I had more to give Am E E7 My pockets she emptied still I offered the rest Am E E7 She obliged and then ripped out the heart from my chest Am E E7 She sent me adrift free to float to world's end Am E7 Am With a bottle as my only friend
Chorus
Am F E A curse upon you, sorrow fall thick and fast! Am F E Your days have been numbered each hour your last! Am E F May the land, sea or sky turn to swallow you whole! Am E7 Am And forer' ner' forget what you stole
Verse 4
Am C Now maybe there's some of you wondering hence G F E Not all parts of my life fit together with sense Am C If these are your thoughts allow me to explain G F E Listen close now for I will not say it again Am E E7 I curse you yourself with the doubts that you've shown! Am E E7 For this is my life and I made it my own Am E E7 Walk a path and you'll have your own stories in time Am E7 Am Til that day I shall drink just to mine
Chorus
Am F E A curse upon you, sorrow fall thick and fast! Am F E Your days have been numbered each hour your last! Am E F May the land, sea or sky turn to swallow you whole! Am E7 Am And forer' ner' forget what you stole
