Curse Of The Somers chords

[INTRO]
[Am]

[VERSE]
Come listen all you s[G]ailors bold, [Em]
come listen unt[Am]o me.
I'll sing you of a [D]cruel deed.
a [C]bloody t[Am]ragedy[Em] .
[Am]Come listen landsmen [G]one and a[Em]ll,
come listen unto[Am] me,
I'll make you bless your [D]lucky stars
[C]you've never [Em]gone to [Am]sea.

[Am]It was the Somers,[G] graceful. swift. [Em]
as trim a little [Am]brig.
as e' er was modeled by[D] shipwright
[C]or sailor [Am]helped to r[Em]ig.
[Am]The grating's rigged, the h[G]angman's wh[Em]ip
dangles from main [Am]yardarm.
The wondering crew gaze [D]on the sight
with t[C]error a[Em]nd al[Am]arm.

[CHORUS]
For the [F]Captain [G]called their [Am]names [F]
and three good [G]men were [Am]slain
No t[F]rial,[G] no questions[Am] here,
only the[F] horror[G] , the grief and the f[Am]ear.

[VERSE]
Alas, the meaning's [G]soon too [Em]clear,
the [Am]noose is round the neck
of three poor men, but[D] men as brave
as [C]walked the [Am]Somers [Em]deck.
[Am]On one side Small and C[G]romwell st[Em]and.
bold men and sailors [Am]true.
They quail not though the [D]boldest might
with s[C]uch a [Em]death in [Am]view.

Starboard young foolish [G]Spencer stand[Em]s.
the tears are in his[Am] eye.
What feelings of deep [D]agony
must [C]through his [Am]bosom f[Em]ly.
[Am]Look, look your last, for [G]hark, a gun[Em]
sends forth its smoky [Am]breath.
When instantly u[D]pon the word,
their [C]eyes ar[Em]e sealed in[Am] death.

[CHORUS]
For the [F]Captain [G]called their [Am]names [F]
and three good [G]men were [Am]slain
No t[F]rial,[G] no questions[Am] here,
only the[F] horror[G] , the grief and the f[Am]ear.

[BRIDGE]
[F] [G] [Am] x4

[VERSE]
And sad and slow our [G]mess mates de[Em]ad,
we launched into the w[Am]aves,
and watched them sink 'mid [D]ocean's moans.
[C]deep in their [Am]watery g[Em]raves.
[Am]Strange sounds will float [G]upon the ai[Em]r
and in the blast [Am]will speak.
and round the main yard[D]arm three ghosts
will pla[C]y and d[Em]ance and s[Am]hriek.

And ill luck and [G]misfortune [Em]dire
will follow in thy [Am]wake
'til the ghastly three. w[D]here lie their bones.
thy [C]last dark [Am]haven [Em]make.
[Am]Sheet home on every c[G]ursed s[Em]par.
set every [Am]rag asail.
and leave here to the [D]ocean ghouls
the [C]demons o[Em]f the g[Am]ale.

[CHORUS]
For the [F]Captain [G]called their [Am]names [F]
and three good [G]men were [Am]slain
No t[F]rial,[G] no questions[Am] here,
only the[F] horror[G] , the grief and the f[Am]ear.
only the[F] horror[G] , the grief and the f[Am]ear.
