Hoist The Colours

	  		
 verse:
 
    Em 
The king and his men 
          Am             Em 
stole the queen from her bed, 
                     B7 
and bound her in her bones. 

The seas be ours, and by the powers 
                     Em 
where we will, we'll roam. 


Em    (Am)   Em 
Yo ho, haul together, 
                 B7 
hoist the colors high. 

Heive ho, thieves and beggars 
             Em 
never shall we die.
 


 verse 2: 
    Em 
Now some have died, 
    Am       Em 
and some are alive; 
                       B7 
and others sail on the sea. 
B7 
With the keys to the cage, 

and the devil to pay, 
                        Em 
we lay to the fiddler's green. 



Em    (Am)   Em 
Yo ho, haul together, 
                 B7 
hoist the colors high. 
B7 
Heive ho, thieves and beggars 
             Em 
never say we die. 



verse 3: 
    Em 
The bell has been raised 
          Am     Em 
from it's watery grave, 
                            B7 
Do you hear it's sepulchral tone? 
B7 
We are a call to all, 

pay head the squall 
                          Em 
and turn your sail toward home! 


 
Em    (Am)   Em 
Yo ho, haul together, 
                 B7 
hoist the colors high. 
B7 
Heive ho, thieves and beggars 
             Em 
never say we die.
