[G] I [D] am a member of the [G] Council [D] of the Naval Mutineers.
I know straight up to my [G] conscience, [D] having [A] done my [D] sworn duty,
these are my last words [G] before the scaffold, [A] and [D] I charge you all to hear
how a wretched [G] British sailor became [D] a citizen in the Mutineer breasted service,
[G] like Harry Potter.
[D]
I was lost to the crack of the whip, in bystanders on the [G] streets of [D] Bristol,

Red is the color of the new Republic,
blue [G] is the color of the sea,
[D] white is the color of the sun, surrender, cease.
I was woken [G] from my misery, [D] by the words of Thomas Paine,
on my barren soil [G] they found life, [D] the street [Em] I'd trot [D] the brain.
Red is the color of the blue [G] is the color of the sea,
[D] white is the color of [A] [D]
the sun, surrender, cease.
We took up arms, every sail and cannon and company,
[G] and we put Jack up in flight [A] to give us heart.
[G] While Piston outbroke, he was waiting [D] for Bonaparte.
[G] Red is [D] the color of the new Republic,
blue is [G] the color of the sea,
white is [D] the color of the sun, surrender, cease.
All you soldiers, all [G] you sailors, all [A] you laborers of the [D] land,
all you beggars, all [G] you builders,
[D] you come here to watch and eat, and to the masters.
We [G] are the rebels, we [D] are the finest multitude,
but we can rearrange [G] the colors,
[D] of the red and the white and the blue.
