Salty Dog
                   
I'll wait for you till I turn blue
                      
There's nothin' more a man can do
                      
Don't get your bollocks in a twist
                         
Settle down, don't take a fit
                    
Ya drank with demons straight from Hell
                     
They almost nearly won as well
                     
Ya wiped the floor with victory
                          
Then puked until you fell asleep

play same chords
Blackened was the banshee's wail
These boots will never fill her jail
So you crawled into an empty boat
For the Gulf of Mexico
Till Cortez came an' when so did you
From the ashes charred and blue
Smellin' like a Salty Dog
Back from Hell where you belong

                     
Anarchy, the scourge of every sea
                
The Antichrist aboard a rig
                      
With us your cutthroat thieves
                     
The ship went down we all near drowned
                     
Ya stood there on the deck
                          
Till the Spanish came and flogged yer arse
                        
And dragged you from the wreck

  same chords as other verse
They threw a rope around yer neck
To watch you dance the jig of death
Then left ya for the starvin' crows
Hoverin' like hungry whores
One flew down plucked out yer eye
The other he had in his sights
Ya snarled at him, said leave me be
I need the bugger so I can see

then keep the verse chords goung untill the end
