[Intro]
C Cmaj9 Fmaj9 x2

[Verse 1]
C           Cmaj9         Fmaj9
This young sailor’s going to drown
C         Cmaj9                 Fmaj9
This old ship is sinking down
C                                         Cmaj9
And his cheeks are black and blue
Bb                         F
And he’s murdered all his crew
C                 Cmaj9                 Fmaj9
This young sailor’s going to drown

[Verse 2]
C                 Cmaj9         Fmaj9
This young man is goin’ to die
C                 Cmaj9                 Fmaj9
Cursed as soon as he saw the sky
C                                 Cmaj9
And the clouds are black as Hell
Bb                         F
And as far as we can tell
C         Cmaj9                 Fmaj9
This young man is goin’ to die

[Chorus]
Am         G                 Fmaj9         C
He’s off to do the Devil’s dance
Am                         G
Waitin’ deep in hand with the man
Am                 Fmaj9                 C
He’s off to learn the Devil’s craft
Am                         G                 F
And he’ll never see the shoreline again
Am         G                 F
And he’ll never see the shoreline again

[Verse 3]
C Cmaj9 Fmaj9
The youngest captain the world’s ever seen
C Cmaj9 Fmaj9
Striking a lightning bolt dream
C Cmaj9 Bb F
Only seventeen, living far beyond his means
E F
The youngest captain the world’s ever seen

[Chorus]
Am G Fmaj9 C
He’s off to do the Devil’s deed
Am G
But to him it’s a favor for a friend
Am G Fmaj9 C
He’s off to learn the Devil’s craft
Am G F
But to him it’s the only freedom for a man
Am G F
Death is the only freedom for a man
Am G F
Death is the only freedom for a man
