1.    Last night, I saw it there, shining in the dark again,

Em                    D                        C

    the light that all men seem to fear,

C                          D                   G         D         C

    They say that sailors were drowning in the bay,

             Am

    and people kept away,

                  F                                                 Em

    waiting for the riches that a wreck would bring,

                                    D

    when the morning comes.

             C                          D                          Em

    And now the ghost of Blackbeard walks again,

           C                               D                         Em

    to haunt the ones who would not hear the pain.

 

       D    C    - D - Em     D     C      - D - Em

+  Help me !                 Help me !

 

  Em               D                     C                             D 

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

Em                    D                        C

    the place I knew when I was young.

C                           D                     G           D            C

    They say that Blackbeard had hidden precious stones,

        Am

    amongst the ancient bones,

                 F                                         Em                           D

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

                 C                       D                  Em

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

              C                    D                 Em - A - C - Em   - A - C - Em

    and started on the journey of my life...
