REm SOL REm
The sun comes up on the Spanish sea our homeland far behind us
SOL LA7
Being hunted by the King's Navy it's sure he'd never find us
REm DO SOL REm
Pull away me lads O the Cardiff Rose and hoist the Jolly Roger
REm SOL REm
We brought her into the looward wind and made for the Caribbean
REm SOL LA7
For thoughts of what it might have been destroys a human being
REm SOL REm
But thoughts about the Spanish gold and learning to desire it
SOL LA7
Can make a man so brash and bold he'll soon become a pirate
REm DO SOL REm
Pull away me lads of the Cardiff Rose and hoist the Jolly Roger
REm SOL
Now a gleam came into the captain's eyes as he spied an English
REm
clipper
SOL LA7
She looks the perfect shape and size let's all aboard and strip her
REm SOL REm
We fired a shot across her bow and eased ourselves beside her
SOL LA7
With our keel as close as she'd allow we swung from the deck to ride
her
REm DO SOL REm
Pull away me lads of the Cardiff Rose and hoist the Jolly Roger
REm SOL REm
Up she tumbles and starts to pitch and signals for assistance
SOL LA7
We tightened our hold another hitch and ended her resistance
REm SOL
Now there's many a day on the Spanish sea I served aboard that
REm
raider
But we never did nothing more beautifully
SOL LA7
Than the way that we belayed her
REm DO SOL REm
Pull away me lads of the Cardiff Rose and hoist the Jolly Roger
REm SOL
Her hold was hot as St Elmo's fire her chests were filled with
REm
treasure
SOL LA7
We took as much as we'd require then took more for our pleasure
REm
Now there's many a day on the Spanish Main
SOL REm
But none I hold so dear
SOL LA7
As the happy day I first became a scurvy buccaneer
REm DO SOL REm
Pull away me lads of the Cardif Rose and hoist the Jolly Roger
