Ballad Of Patch Eye And Meg chords by Michelle Shocked
Guitar chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
G C
Remembering back when I was a kid
G D
I'd sneak down to the docks
G C
I'd watch the old men carving wood
G D
I'd watch the sailors tying knots
G D
But the thing I remember best
C G
Was grey-haired old Patch Eye
C
And the stories that he'd tell me about
G D G
His younger days as we watched the ships go by

Chorus:
G D
He talked about his missing eye and
C G
He talked about his wooden leg
C G
But he never told me about the old tattoo
D G
On his right arm that said Meg
Verse 2:
G C
He said he was captain of a pirate ship
G D
Sailing seas both blue and green
G C
And he said that all pirates gots to have a patch
G D
So's they can look real mean
G D
He'd make the bad guys walk the plank
C
The pretty ladies, he would save
G D G
Then he'd take the treasures from the ship, then sink it to a watery grave
Chorus:
G D
He talked about his missing eye and
C G
He talked about his wooden leg
C G
But he never told me about the old tattoo
D G
On his right arm that said Meg
Verse 3:
G C
He told many a story about his wooden leg
G D
As he sat there spinning yarns
G C
Once he'd lost it to a mamba snake
G D
Down in the Amazon
G D
Another time it was way out west
C
In a gunfight, or so he said, but
G D G
That's alright, a man's got two legs, y'know, he could've lost his head...
Chorus:
G D
He talked about his missing eye and
C G
He talked about his wooden leg
C G
But he never told me about the old tattoo
D G
On his right arm that said Meg
Chorus:
G D
He told about his missing eye and
C G
He told me how he lost his leg
C G
But he never told me how he lost the love
D G
Of brown haired blue eyed Meg
