Chords with lyrics
Tuning: Full step down
For both the intro and the verses it is a walk up from E minorEm to G+G to C.
E minorEm G+G C majorC
I'd had one too many the night before
E minorEm G+G C majorC
And I needed to clear my pounding head
E minorEm G+G C majorC
So I headed on down to the Eastern Shore
E minorEm G+G C majorC
Sunrise Carolina sky was painted red
E minorEm G+G C majorC
Well the wind went whipping around my face.
E minorEm G+G C majorC
And the boats on Juniper bay were deathly still.
E minorEm G+G C majorC
Nothing marking time but the crashing waves.
E minorEm G+G C majorC
And the grand white lighthouse on the hill.
C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm
When I saw Blackbeard's Ghost in the fog off Ocracoke,
C majorC G+G D MajorD
like a rainy Sunday morning back in 1704.
C majorC G+G
Was he looking for buried treasure,
D MajorD E minorEm
a broken heart from long ago.
C majorC D MajorD
Cause he left both off the coast of Pamlico.
C-G-C-G
E minorEm G+G C majorC
🏷Legends tells he walked the plank alone,
E minorEm G+G C majorC
Others swear he took six bullets straight to hell
E minorEm G+G C majorC
By the hand of Captain Maynard on that cold November morn.
E minorEm G+G C majorC
And now he roams the beach all by himself.
C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm
Cause I saw Blackbeard's Ghost in the fog off Ocracoke,
C majorC G+G D MajorD
like a rainy Sunday morning back in 1704.
C majorC G+G
Was he looking for his buried treasure,
D MajorD E minorEm
his broken heart from long ago.
C majorC D MajorD
Cause he left both off the coast of Pamlico.
C-G-C-G-C-G-D
E minorEm B minorBm
And some say they see the lights flickering on the sound
C majorC D MajorD
He's out there every night trying to chase the devil down.
C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm
Cause I saw Blackbeard's Ghost in the fog off Ocracoke,
C majorC G+G D MajorD
like a rainy Sunday morning back in 1704.
C majorC G+G
Was he looking for his buried treasure,
D MajorD E minorEm
his broken heart from long ago.
C majorC D MajorD
Cause he left both off the coast of Pamlico.
