A augmentedA     D MajorD     A augmentedA               D MajorD
I was pressed into service through no fault of my own
A augmentedA      D MajorD     A augmentedA            D MajorD
I was dragged from the gutter by nefarious rogues
E MajorE F# minorF#m      D MajorD     E MajorE A augmentedA        F# minorF#m  D MajorD
I don't like to dwell upon what happened to me

From the land of the living to the land of the lost
 A augmentedA         D MajorD   F# minorF#m      E MajorE      A augmentedA   D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Just a pawn in the system, (woh-oh) got my fingers crossed

A augmentedA                 D MajorD   A augmentedA          D MajorD
I've seen skulls, I've seen crossbones As near as I can see you
A augmentedA            D MajorD      A augmentedA         D MajorD
I felt the cold cloak of terror the hardened grog got us through……
A augmentedA      D MajorD
Pirate or privateer
 E MajorE       D MajorD       A augmentedA   D MajorD     A augmentedA          D MajorD
I am both am I not, in a land unforgiving from the land of the lost
A augmentedA          D MajorD   F# minorF#m    E MajorE       A augmentedA
With my fate in the balance, (woh-oh) and my fingers crossed
A augmentedA
Well..

Verse:
A augmentedA           D MajorD    A augmentedA     D MajorD
I have danced with the elements on the South China seas
A augmentedA             D MajorD      A augmentedA        D MajorD
I've seen gold, I've seen silver, the fruits of our victories
D MajorD    D MajorD      A augmentedA     D MajorD     A augmentedA       D MajorD     A augmentedA    D MajorD
Guilty or innocent I ask this because, on the steps of the scaffold am I now to be lost
A augmentedA        D MajorD     F# minorF#m      E MajorE        A augmentedA
So I make my confession, (woh-oh) with my fingers crossed

Hang me high, hang me high, boys hang me high, hang me high, boys
