Standard (EADGBE)

(The above is played for the first verse and the first half of the second verse)

Verse 1

'Twas Amquite the inky black Dmnight

All the Amweather vanes were turning

And the Econstable was burning out his Amlight

When Amlow our anchors went Dmdown, barnacle bound

The Ammen were up and churning

Yes, and Esoon the square was burning to the Amground

Prechorus

And Dmoh the flames were as Egold

Chorus

I scowl at the Amangry mFoon

I am Csick on myself I'm a Gbum

What have I beAmcome

A drunken maFroon run agEround

In this rotten Amtown Am Am E Am

Verse 2

It's Ambeen a fortnight or Dmtwo

The Ammutineers are plotting against

the Ecaptain as I'm rotting in the Amgoo

(palm mute)

The Amconstable was set to drown while the shabby scabs that went to town were

Dmreconnoitering with blades and gun

But the Amale had started spilling

Yes, and Esoon the crew was killing everyAmone

(walkup)

Prechorus 2

And Dmall the streets burned with Egold,

But, Dmoh, my bones were so Ecold

I scowl at the Amangry mFoon

I am Csick on myself I'm a Gbum

What have I beAmcome

A drunken maFroon run agCround

GIn this rotten Etown

Bridge

I Astumble down the harbor to the tavern on the square

And heard a raucous ruckus as it Erang

AFrom some foul inebriates

Some Dmen I used to call my mates

Were Alost in song and Ethis is what they Asang

They sang,

"HAeigh, hi, yo, ho! O'er the Atlantic we Ego

ADrinking 'till we all get sick

And Dcoming up with limericks

But we Anever quite reEmember how they Aend"

I can F♯msee my childhood Dhome

I Athink of my dear old Emum

What have I beAmcome Am Am E Am

I scowl at the angry moon

I am sick on myself I'm a bum

What have I become

A drunken maroon run aground

In this rotten town (I scowl at the angry moon)

I am sick on myself I'm a bum

What have I become

A drunken maroon run aground

In this rotten town (I scowl at the angry moon)

I am sick on myself I'm a bum

What have I become

A drunken maroon run aground

In this rotten town (In this rotten)
