Have A Care Chords & Tabs
Em G
With the voices getting nearer I knew that I had to hide,
Am B
I got up behind a coffin, then I saw who was inside,
Em G
By the skin and bones of Blackbeard I lay there in the dark,
Am B
T’was then I heard a whisper above the beating of my heart;
Em
“Have a care, have a care,
C G D C D
T’was evilly come by and no good will you find there,
Em
Have a care, have a care,
C G D C D Em
T’was evilly stolen, only pain and sorrow there - have a care!”

Em G
So t’was from the world of smugglers that I hid myself that night,
Am B
And when they left I opened up the coffin for a look inside,
Em G
But instead of Blackbeard’s diamonds, in the locket at his heart,
Am B
Only verses from the Bible and a voice came from the dark;
Em
“Have a care, have a care,
C G D C D
T’was evilly come by and no good will you find there,
Em
Have a care, have a care,
C G D C D Em
T’was evilly stolen, only pain and sorrow there - have a care!”

Lock him in the vault so he can’t get out boys, early in the morning!”
