Stede Bonnet

Look ma! A song about a pirate... sorta. It is about the place in which he died. Not sure why this one's not in alphabetical order like the others - oh well.

STEDE BONNET

(G)(F)(D)(F)

Before these crowded streets on a midsummer's night

(G)(F)(D)(F)

This place where I met you in a different life

{chorus}

(G)(F)

hang me up on the gallows high

(D)(F)

display me for all to gaze upon

(G)

taken oh so willing to die

(D)(F)

for all the things we could have done

Before this haunted sea in this blowin' night wind
are you thinking of me out where all the stars end

So put me up like Bonnet before

view me in the pirate light clearly

before you forget me ever more

and forget what we could be

{repeat chorus}

You'll never see me by my deeds

they're rubies lost in the waves

sapphires of all my sunny days

you'll only see me in some painting

when they write out my name
and proclaim me to be slain

{repeat chorus}

Note - it's pretty much just G-F-D-F throughout except the chorus which is G-F-D-F-G-G-D-F. So just keep repeating throughout. In the style of Tallest man on Earth with ya' know pirate stuff.
