Roger McGuinn   Jolly Roger   written by Roger McGuinn/Jacques Levy

Dm                                      G            Dm

The sun comes up on the Spanish sea  our homeland far behind us

                                     G               A7

Being hunted by the King's Navy it's sure he'd never find us

      Dm                                  C          G     Dm

Pull away me lads  O the Cardiff Rose and hoist the  Jolly Roger

Dm                                       G               Dm

We brought her into the looward wind and made for the Caribbean

Dm                                      G                A7

For thoughts of what it might have been destroys a human being

    Dm                                  G           Dm

But thoughts about the Spanish gold and learning to desire it

                                       G             A7

Can make a man so brash and bold he'll soon become a pirate

         Dm                                C         G      Dm

Pull away me lads of the Cardiff  Rose and hoist the Jolly Roger

Dm                                             G                

Now a gleam came into the captain's eyes as he spied an English  

Dm

clipper

                                           G              A7

She looks the perfect shape and size let's all aboard and strip her

    Dm                             G                Dm

We fired a shot across her bow and eased ourselves beside her

                                         G                     A7

With our keel as close as she'd allow we swung from the deck to ride

her

     Dm                                   C         G     Dm

Pull away me lads of the Cardiff Rose and hoist the Jolly Roger

Dm                                      G           Dm

Up she tumbles and starts to pitch  and signals for assistance

                                        G              A7

We tightened our hold another hitch and ended her resistance

Dm                                             G                

Now there's many a day  on the Spanish  sea I served aboard that

Dm

raider

But we never did nothing more beautifully

         G           A7

Than the way that we belayed her

     Dm                                  C          G       Dm

Pull away me lads of the Cardiff Rose and hoist the Jolly Roger

Dm                                     G                      

Her hold was hot as St Elmo's fire her chests were filled with

Dm

treasure

                                     G                 A7

We took as much as we'd require then took more for our pleasure

     Dm

Now there's many a day on the Spanish Main

    G               Dm

But none I hold so  dear

                                 G           A7

As the happy day I first became a scurvy buccaneer

      Dm                                 C         G     Dm

Pull away me lads of the Cardif Rose and hoist the Jolly Roger
