Chorus

My Dname is Dsus4Captain DKidd as I sailed, as I Asailed

Oh my Dname is Dsus4Captain DKidd as I sAailed

My Gname is Captain Kidd and DGod's laws I did fAorbid

And most Gwickedly I Adid as I saiDleDsus4d. D

My Dfather Dsus4taught me wDell to shun the gates of Ahell

But Dagainst hiDsus4m I reDbelled as I Asailed

He shoved a DBible iDsus4n my haDnd but I left it in the Asand

And I DpulledDsus4 away from Dland as I saiAled

Chorus

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

(After Chorus comes the nice snare drum solo, which uses the same chords as the 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

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.

Chorus repeating last line twice and ending on D
