Mutineer chords by Jason Isbell

Chords with lyrics

Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires released a cover of Warren Zevon's "Mutineer" on an EP called "Sea Song". After
watching a video of them play it, I figured out how Jason plays it on his acoustic guitar. It's different than
Warren's, but still great. Capo the 2nd fret!

Verse 1:
C majorC       FF
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
C majorC           A minorAm
Hoist the main sails, here I come
FF                C majorC
Ain't no room on board for the insincere
FF         G+G      C majorC
You're my witness, I'm your mutineer

Verse 2:
C majorC       FF
I was born to rock the boat
C majorC         A minorAm
Some may sink but we will float
FF                C majorC
Grab your coat, let's get out of here
FF         G+G      C majorC
You're my witness, I'm your mutineer

Chorus:
G+G      A minorAm
Long ago we laughed at shadows
FF        C majorC
Lightning flash, thunder follows
FF            C majorC
They could never find us here
FF         G+G      C majorC
You're my witness, I'm your mutineer

(Amanda Shines plays a violin solo here, Jason just plays the verse without singing)

Verse 3:
C majorC       FF
I was born to rock the boat
C majorC         A minorAm
Some may sink but we will float
FF                C majorC
Grab your coat, let's get out of here
FF         G+G      C majorC
You're my witness, I'm your mutineer

Chorus:
G+G      A minorAm
Long ago we laughed at shadows
FF        C majorC
Lightning flash, thunder follows
FF            C majorC
They could never find us here
FF         G+G      C majorC
You're my witness, I'm your mutineer
FF         G+G      C majorC
You're my witness, I'm your mutineer

End on C majorC
