[Verse 1]
Am                   C             
We're sailin' out in foggy, dewy weather
G             Am 
Pillagin' the Westcoasts
                 C       G  
Singin' out the "turalurao"
     Am          C 
But labouring on wicked, old sea
     G            A
Was always making us row
              C       G  
Tired of the "turalurao"

[Verse 2]
Dm       
Hunger and no capture
Am                           
From plague we're no more raptured
C                          G  
You didn't really treat us well
Dm
So much different stories
Am
But we came for gold and glories
C                            E 
Now we will send you back to hell

[Chorus]
Am                          C     G                (?)
You traitors, the captain's dead, hail!
Dm
So long live me
Am                   G         D
Now I'm in charge so no wail! Way-hey
      Am          C
We'll riding on thunder
    G              Dm
The world's gonna humble
 F                  G
Under favour of the night we'll sail
              Am 
The captain's dead

[Verse 3]
Am                   C             
We're sailin' out in foggy, dewy weahter
G             Am 
Pillagin' the Westcoasts
                 C       G  
Singin' out the "turalurao"
     Am          C 
But labouring on wicked, old sea
                  Am
Was always making us row
C             G  
Tired of the "turalurao"
 
[Verse 4]
Dm
Abandoned families
Am                  C 
Got only catching disease
C                     G  
Now we've got nothing left to lose
    Dm      
The soup is served with rat tag
   Am        
No lumber for wooden leg
         C                   E  
Fighting beside you it's no use

[Chorus]
G
You traitors, the captain's dead, hail!
D
So long live me
C                   G         D
Now I'm in charge so no wail! Way-hey
      A           C
We'll riding on thunder
    G              D
The world's gonna humble
 F                  G
Under favour of the night we'll sail
              A 
The captain's dead
