[Am] [Em]
[Bm] [Em]
[E] I served on the [G] Charles Affair privateer, [E] but our pay [D] it was weeks [Em]
overdue.
[E] The crew's morale was low [G] and the captain was drunk, [E] and sadly [D] this was [Em] nothing new.
So while [A] he slept we [D] cut line and [E] sailed out, [G] they [E] called it polite mutiny.
[Em] When he awoke we put him in a boat [E] and began [D] our life of [Em] piracy.
[E] With a crew of one fifty [G] and forty six guns [E] we sailed [Em] the [E] Arabian Sea.
We found four pirate ships [G] and enlisted their aid, [E] and each [D] of their [E] captains agreed.
[G] Pilgrims and [A] merchants [D] both [Em] used this route when their spices [D] and [E] silks were all sold.
[Em] If our timing was right the ships would be slow, weighed down by all the [E] silver and gold.
[Am] My wicked, wicked ways [Em] and those wicked, wicked days, [D] when the blood and [C] the gold poured [D] down just like [Em] the rain.
[Am] That wicked, wicked [Em] sea and my most wicked company, [Bm] when they screamed for my head [Em] in England, France and Spain.
[E]
Our crews they all roared as [G] they saw a great ship, [E] and readied [D] as our prize [E] drew near.
With four hundred rifles [G] and forty big [E] guns, ship belted [D] had [E] nothing to fear.
[G] With our second [D] shot the main [E] mass was lost, they knew they had nowhere to run.
[Em] Firing their rifles the crew swarmed the deck while quickly [Bm] reloading [E] their guns.
A cannon exploded [Em] and bodies were thrown, [E] the deck covered [Bm] in [E] carnage and fire.
We pulled alongside [G] and readied to board, [E] her treasure [Bm] now our one [E] desire.
[G] Standing on [A] deck thirty slave girls [E] were armed [G] and dressed up [D] to look [E] like the crew.
[Em] While down in the hold [G] their brave captain wept, [E] for he knew that his time it was through.
[A] My wicked, wicked ways [Em] and those wicked, wicked days, when the blood and the gold [D] poured down just [Em] like the rain.
[Am] That wicked, wicked sea and [Em] my most wicked company, [D] when they screamed for my head in England, [Em] France and Spain.
[E] We fought our way down [G] till we got to a hatch [E] that led to [D] the frigate's [E] main hold.
We all stared in wonder [G] at what we had found, [E] a sight [Bm] just too great to [E] behold.
[G] There were chests overflowing [D] with jewelry [E] and gems [G] and that is just [E] where it began.
[Em] More than one million pounds [G] worth of silver and gold, [E] enough to make kings of each man.
The crew then embarked [G] on an orgy of rape [E] and plunder that lasted five days.
We tortured their [Em] crewmen until we had found where [E] each secret hiding [Em] place lay.
And in a cabin [Bm] with walls lined [C#] in gold, I [Bm] found there my [E] favorite prize.
[Em]
The emperor's daughter [G] who stared back at me [E] with smoldering charcoal for eyes.
[A] My wicked, wicked ways and [Em] those wicked, wicked days, [Am] when the blood and [Em] the gold poured down just like the rain.
[Am] That wicked, wicked [Em] sea and my most wicked company, [A] when [Bm] they screamed for my head [Em] in England, France and Spain.
We loaded our ships [G] with all they could hold [E] and [D] left them not even [Em] a scrap.
And headed then to the nearest port, our hope to [Bm] outrun [Em] any traps.
[G] One half ton of [A] ivory [D] and the ship [Em] that I loved, [A] bribed us our [E] way onto shore.
[Em] We split up the treasure and went our own ways and with [E] pirates I sailed nevermore.
I built me a palace [Em] and lived like a king, paid [Bm] for with ill [E]-gotten gold.
The emperor's daughter [G] and my secret I kept [E] while I [D] comfortably [E] grew old.
[G] My life as a [A] pirate was short, [Em] that is true, [G] but my [A] exploits are all [E] known quite well.
For those of you who [G] say that crime doesn't pay, [E] Captain Avery, that's [D] me, [Em] says like hell.
[A] My wicked, wicked ways and [Em] those wicked, wicked days, when the blood and the gold poured [Dm] down just [Em] like the rain.
[Am] That wicked, wicked sea [E] and my most wicked company, when they [Bm] screamed for [Em] my head in England, France and Spain.
[D] When they screamed [E] for my head in England, France and Spain.
[A] When they [Bm] screamed for my head [E] in [A] England, [Em] France and Spain.
