Captain Kidd - Great Big Sea
============
Intro: F Fsus4 F F Fsus4 F
F Fsus4 F C
My name is Captain Kidd, as I sailed, as I sailed,
F Fsus4 F C
Oh my name is Captain Kidd, as I sailed.
Bb F C
My name is Captain Kidd and God's laws I did forbid,
F Fsus4 F C F Fsus4 F
And most wickedly I did as I sailed.
F Fsus4 F C
My father taught me well to shun the gates of Hell,
F Fsus4 F C
But against him I rebelled, as I sailed.
F Fsus4 F C
He shoved a bible in my hand but I left it in the sand,
F Fsus4 F C
And I pulled away from land, as I sailed.
[Chorus]
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/great_big_sea/captain_kidd_crd_ver_2.html ]
I murdered William Moore and I left him in his gore,
Twenty leagues away from shore, as I sailed.
And being crueler still, the gunner I did kill,
All his precious blood did spill, as I sailed.
[Chorus] *********************

(solo - one chorus) *********************
I was sick and nigh to death, and I vowed at every breath,
Oh to walk in wisdom's path, as I sailed.
But my repentance lasted not, my vows I soon forgot,
Oh damnation is my lot, as I sailed.
[Chorus]
To the execution dock, lay my head upon the block...
The laws no more I'll mock, as I sail.
So take warning here and heed, to shun bad company,
Or you'll wind up just like me, as I sailed.
