Bm Bm Bm

Verse 1:
Bm
I have travelled 'cross the land in search of fame and gold
Bm
With the wind upon my sails and a heart both brave and bold
Bm
Through raging storms and seas untamed, my ship did never stray
Bm
For naught can stop a pirate’s quest to claim his treasure’s pay
Bm
A pint of whisky in my hand, a map clenched tight and worn
Bm
To islands far and wide I’ve sailed since days you were not born
Bm
A thousand sights that I have seen, the stories I could tell
Bm
And for the things that I have done I’ll see you all in hell

Chorus:
G            D
Set sail for glory
    A                   E
We quest for gold under blood-red skies
G          D
We are the piratеs
    A               Bm
Our tale has just begun
G            D
Set sail for glory
    A                       E
Our bladеs are sharp to the end of time
G              D
Steal all your treasure
      A               Bm
We’ll spend it all on rum

Verse 2:
Em
When desperation leads you to the point of no return
Em
No longer can you idly stand and watch the empire burn
Em
A life spent hanging from a thread is not the life for me
Em
The precipice awaits you and oblivion is free
Em

Interlude:
G                            Bm
The time has come for you to scream
G                           F#
So raise your voices up and join the fray

You’ll die today

Verse 3:
Em
For years we’ve voyaged on this cursed ship of death
Em
Living like we’ll never die til we draw our final breath
Em
But now the reaper lies ahead I feel the end is near
Em
And when it’s time to follow him we’ll drink one final beer

I won’t join the setting sun

All things must come to pass?

Stick that up your fucking ass
Bm
We will return

No braincells left to understand

So here I’ll make my final stand
