zog bogbean - The Tale Of Captain Mcguire

      [verse]
Em              C                G
Four and four-hundred solstices past
C                 Em            G         D
When the sea was wild and the world was vast
Em             C              G 
The king sent men to off the head
C               Em            G           D
O' brave Ryan McGuire and the pirates he led
Em            C                      G
They hoisted sail and his majesty's flag
           C              Em             G            D
And they sailed for the seas near the islands of Celtisag

Em              C                G
Two days and a fort-night by the sky
C                 Em               G                 D
When alas ' The Cutter Ryan ' the king's men he did spy
Em            C                  G
And there a pirate chewed and pried
C                 Em        G              D
The cork from a bottle to drink before he died
Em                 C                    G
"Full straight ahead!" howled Admiral Tannon
C                           Em                G    D 
"Load shot to the guns and fire the starboard cannon!"

[chorus]
D             G
And a pirate cried,
G             D
"Fire in the sky"
G             D
"Fire in the sky"
G             D
"Fire In the sky"

Em             C                        G
The moon was black and the clouds they bled
C              Em            G           D
When alas the tall ship had sank to sea-bed
Em                 C                 G
Battered was that ship ' The Cutter Ryan '
C                Em        G          D
But high on the mast the roger was flyin'
Em              C                  G
The kings ship fell under violent fire
C                    Em            G     D
But No match for the great Captain McGuire

[chorus]
D              G
And they all cried,
G             D
"Fire in the sky"
G             D
"Fire in the sky"
G             D
"Fire in the sky"
