Oh, that pretty girl [D#m] is missing.
[C#] A [D#m] [C#]

On a [B] yacht, in a [C#] slave.
Soldiers came and took him,
[D#m] Dispute to [C#] jealousy.
All the [D#m] ones they [C#] liked,

All the love she wanted,
But she [D#] didn't find her [C#] brother,
Maybe he could have her dead,
But [B] I
[C#] didn't.
