    Dm                 Bb       Dm 
The wind bit hard on a moonless night 
    Dm                  C 
The timbers groaned and waves ran white 
   Dm                        Bb        F 
We carved our fate where the wild seas dragged 
   Dm      C                  Dm 
No king we served beneath the black flag 
 

 
    Dm                    Bb       Dm 
The cannon roared and the deck ran slick 
Dm                      C 
Steel rang loud and the lanterns flick 
Dm                    Bb         F 
Gold on the deep in a splintered rag 
   Dm       C                 Dm 
We take our share beneath the black flag 
 

 
Dm    N.C. 
Hoist it high let the whole world know 
N.C. 
We ride the storm where the dark winds blow 
N.C. 
No chains no crown no land to claim 
N.C. 
Just salt and fire and a fearsome name 
 

 
Dm                        F         C 
Raise it bold through the smoke and brine 
   Dm                   Bb      C 
We live and fall by the devil's sign 
Dm                   F        C 
Sing it loud til the last man stands 
      Bb        C                Dm 
We're bound and free beneath the black flag 
 

Interlude 
Dm C 
Dm Gm 
F/G Dm 

 
    Dm                  Bb        Dm 
The rum ran dry but the song held fast 
    Dm                     Gm      C 
We laughed at death as the die was cast 
     Dm                 Bb       F 
From port to grave in a tattered brag 
   Dm        C              Dm 
We write our tale beneath a black flag 
 

 
     Dm                      Gm/Bb Bb   Dm 
When bones lie still and the tide rolls in 
   Dm                        C 
No priest will mourn for the life of sin 
        Dm                   Bb       F 
But the sea will tell of the soul she snagged 
    Dm       C                 Dm 
All lost and proud beneath the black flag 
Dm 
Yay!

Dm 
Hoist it high 
N.C.                     Dm 
Let the whole world know 
N.C.              Dm 
We ride the storm 
N.C.                   C 
Where the dark winds go 
   Bb 
No chains no crown 
   C 
No land to claim 
     Dm                  Dm 
Just salt and fire and a fearsome name 
 

 
Dm                        F         C 
Raise it bold through the smoke and brine

We live and fall by the devil's sign 
Dm                   F        C 
Sing it loud til the last man stands 
      Bb        C                Dm         F Dm 
We're bound and free beneath the black flag
