Privateering chords by Mark Knopfler

Chords with lyrics

Capo 3

A minorAm
Yon's my privateer see how trim she lies

To every man a lucky hand and to every man a prize
                 C majorC     G+G
I live to ride the ocean the mighty world around
 A minorAm                G+G       A minorAm
To take a little plunder and to hear the cannon sound

FF        C majorC
To lay with pretty women
         G+G    Dsus2Dsus2
to drink Madeira wine
 A minorAm                G+G        A minorAm
to hear the roller's thunder on a shore that isn't mine

A minorAm
Privateering, we will go
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
Privateering, we will go
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!

A minorAm
The people on your man o'war are treated worse than scum

I'm no flogging Captain my God I've sailed with some
                C majorC        G+G
Come with me to Barbary we'll ply there up and down
 A minorAm                G+G    A minorAm
Not quite exactly in the service of the Crown

FF        C majorC
To lay with pretty women
         G+G    Dsus2Dsus2
to drink Madeira wine
 A minorAm                G+G        A minorAm
to hear the roller's thunder on a shore that isn't mine

A minorAm
Privateering, we will go
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
Privateering, we will go
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!

A minorAm
Look here there's my privateer she's small but she can sting

Licensed to take prizes with a letter from the King
                   C majorC       G+G
I love the streets and taverns of a pretty foreign town
 A minorAm                    G+G      A minorAm
tip my hat to the dark eyed ladies as we sally up and down

FF        C majorC
To lay with pretty women
         G+G    Dsus2Dsus2
to drink Madeira wine
 A minorAm                G+G        A minorAm
to hear the roller's thunder on a shore that isn't mine

A minorAm
Privateering, we will go
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
Privateering, we will go
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!

A minorAm
Britannia needs her privateers each time she goes to war

Death to all her enemies no prizes matter more
                C majorC        G+G
Come with me to Barbary we'll ply there up and down
 A minorAm                G+G    A minorAm
Not quite exactly in the service of the Crown

FF        C majorC
To lay with pretty women
         G+G    Dsus2Dsus2
to drink Madeira wine
 A minorAm                G+G        A minorAm
to hear the roller's thunder on a shore that isn't mine

A minorAm
Privateering, we will go
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
Privateering, we will go
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
