BARRETT’S PRIVATEERS

D A D
Oh, the year was seventeen seventy-eight
G D A
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
G A D
A letter of marque came from the king
Bm A G
To the scummiest vessel I've ever seen

A D
God damn them all!
D G A G D G
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
A D A G
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
D G D G
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
G (or Bm) A D
The last of Barrett's privateers

Bm A G A D

D A D
Oh, Elcid Barrett cried the town
G D A
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
G A D
For twenty brave men, all fishermen
Bm A G
Who would make for him the Antelope's crew

[Chorus]

D A D
The Antelope sloop was a sickening sight
G D A
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
G A D
She'd a list to the port and her sails in rags
Bm A G
And...
