Have a care (video)

Em ~ ~

Em Bm

1. With the voices getting nearer I knew that I had to hide,

Am B7

I got up behind a coffin, then I saw who was inside.

Em G

By the skin and bones of Blackbeard I lay there in the dark,

Am B7

t'was then I heard a whisper above the beating of my heart.

Em

Have a care, have a care,

C G D C - D

t'was evilly come by and no good will you find there.

Em

Have a care, have a care,

C G D C - D Em

t'was evilly stolen, only pain and sorrow there - have a care!

Em Bm

2. So t'was from the world of smugglers that I hid myself that night,

Am B7

when they left I opened up the coffin for a look inside,

Em G

But instead of Blackbeard's diamonds, in the locket at his heart,

Am B7

only verses from the Bible and a voice came from the dark :

Em

Have a care, have a care,

C G D C - D

t'was evilly come by and no good will you find there.

Em

Have a care, have a care,

C G D C - D Gm

t'was evilly stolen, only pain and sorrow there - have a care!

Gm

+ What shall we do with the boy who's hiding ?

F

What shall we do with the boy who's hiding ?

Gm F Gm

What shall we do with the boy who's hiding, early in the morning ?

Gm

+ Lock him in the vault so he can't get out, boys,

F

lock him in the vault so he can't get out, boys,

Gm F Gm

lock him in the vault so he can't get out, boys, early in the morning!

+ Em - C - G - C (2x) …
