[E] [Em] As we were sailing along the salt [E] sea,
[Em] we [G] hadn't been gone months but two [E] or three,
[Em] when we saw [G] ten sail, ten [D] sail of Turks, all men of war.
All as [Em] big as [E] we, haul down your [Em] colours, you English dogs,
[B] haul [G] down your colours,
do not [Bm] refuse, haul [G] down your colours, you [D] English dogs, or your precious lives you [E] will
lose.
A [Em] captain being, a valiant man, and a well [G] bespoken, a [Em] man was he, let it never
[G] be said, that we died [D] like dogs, for we shall fight most [Em] manfully.
Go up aloft, your cabin
boys, and mount [G] the main mast, atop [E] so high, or to spread [G] the news, to King [D] George's fleet,
and we'll run the risk,
[G] or else we'll [Em] die.
Now the fight began, about six in the morn,
and on to [G] the setting [D] [Em] of the sun, and at [G] the rise of [D] the next dawn, where we saw [Bm] ten ships,
[D] we couldn't see [Em] but one, cause three we sank, and three we burned, and three [G]
we caused,
[D] to [Em] run away, and one [G] we told, to [D] Portsmouth harbour, or to let them know, [E] we'd won the day,
if anyone then, [Em] should enquire, [E] [G] as to our [A] gallant [E] captain's name,
[Em] a captain [G] well founder,
was [D] our commander, and the Royal Oak, [G] was our [E] ship by name.
