They say that sailors were
drowning in the bay,

and
people kept away,

waiting
for the riches that a wreck would bring,

when
the morning comes.

And now the ghost of
Blackbeard walks again,
C D Em
to
haunt the ones who would not hear the pain.

2. I took the old path down, down to where the graveyard lay,

the
place I knew when I was young.

They say that Blackbeard had
hidden precious stones,
Am
amongst
the ancient bones,

so I
set off to the darkness down below, by the candle glow.

T'was
then I heard the voices, saw a light,

and
started on the journey of my life...
