The Smugglers Tale Chords

Capo: 5th fret

[Verse 1]
  Am              G       Am       G
A ship fought the furious restless waves
Am        G       Am G Am
Bound for England shore
    Am               G      
The boat sailed with haste 
       Am          G
for the smuggler on board
  Am        G          Am G Am
A luxurious mansion he saw
    Dm                          Am
His eyes they did burn with the flame of desire
        Em                      Am
For the gold of the Earl he did crave
       Dm                Am
With a terrible roar his boat hits the shore
        Em                      Am Em Am
And the smuggler went after his gold
 
 
[Verse 2]
   Am           G         Am          G
He took all the gold that came to his eyes
Am        G         Am G Am
Fueled by merciless greed
Am          G            Am       G
Hearing the smuggler the Earl he awoke
    Am                    G       Am  G Am
And caught the thief with gold in hand
    Dm                          Am
The thief he was crazed through fear and dismay
    Em                  Am
And soon his pistol was raised.
    Dm                   Am                     Em
The Earl didn’t fight, a shot paced the night
                 Am G Am
He shot him down dead
 
[Chorus 1]
        C             G         Am         G
Oh ! He sailed off to seize his visions of gold !
   C         G       F
He sailed to England shore !
     C           G             Am          F
He’s taken their gold and he’s taken their lives !
        F             G            Am
And his hands are now painted with blood !
        F             G            Am G Am
And his hands are now painted with blood !
 
[Verse 3]
     Am           G          Am           G
With blood on his hands, his work was not done
     Am      G          Am G Am
And still he lusted for gold
      Am         G              Am        G
As he looted the house, a young maiden he found
Am            G          Am G Am
Asleep and as white as a bird
    Dm                  Am
His lust for riches and gold disappeared
    Em                      Am
For lust of the love of the girl
    Dm                        Am
Her skin were pure white, red lips and blue eyes
    Em                          Am G Am
The smuggler had found his true thrives
 
[Chorus 2]
        C             G         Am         G
Oh ! He sailed off to seize his visions of gold !
   C         G       F
He sailed to England shore !
     C           G             Am          F
He’s taken their gold and he’s taken their lives !
        F       G        Am
But the girl is his true desire !
        F       G        Am G Am
Now the girl is his true desire !
 
[Verse 4]
   Am           G            Am              G
As quiet as the night as the waves press the ships
   Am        G             Am G Am
He stole one kiss from her lips
   Am           G        Am           G
As he turned to leave, a voice he did hear
        Am        G         Am G Am
For his kiss had awaken the girl
       Dm                      Am
As she looked in his eyes, she too had desire
Em                    Am G Am
Both of them bound by love
  Dm                   Am
Before he set sail she ask through were he came
Em                    Am G Am
And watched him sail all the waves
 
[Chorus 3]
        C             G         Am         G
Oh ! He sailed off to seize his visions of gold !
   C         G       F
He sailed to England shore !
     C           G             Am          F
He’s taken their gold and he’s taken their lives !
         F          G            Am
And he’s stolen the heart of the girl !
         F          G            Am G Am
Now he’s stolen the heart of the girl !
 
[Verse 5]
         Am            G        
When she could see him no more, 
    Am            G
she flew down the hall
   Am          G           Am G Am
To tell of her love to her father
    Am         G     Am          G
Her father she found dead on the ground
    Am           G            Am G Am
Her tears filled with furious rage
    Dm                      Am
Her love turned to hate and lust for revenge
Em                      Am
Wild and untamed as the sea.
  Dm                 Am
A boat she founds to where he was bound
    Em                    Am
and stood the wave in the howl
 
[Chorus 4 ]
         C          G         Am           G
Oh ! She sailed off seas, her visions were cold !
    C           G       F
She sailed from England shore !
     C           G             Am        F
He’s taken their gold and he’s taken her heart !
          F         G            Am
And she’s coming to take the revenge !
          F         G            Am
Now she’s coming to take the revenge !
 
[Verse 6]
    Am               G         Am            G
The girl crossed the waves and soon the boat end
       Am         G                 Am G Am
To the land where dwelled the young smuggler
    Am                G        Am           G
She searched the town till the smuggler she founds
   Am         G          Am G Am
Surrounded by his stolen treasure
        Dm                      Am
When he saw who she was, he was blinded by love
Em                      Am
Not seeing her lust for revenge
   Dm                        Am
He gave her riche food, fine clothing and jewels
    Em              Am Em Am
For he was bound by love.
 
[Chorus 5]
         C          G         Am           G
Oh ! She sailed off seas, her visions were cold !
    C           G       F
She sailed from England shore !
      C          G        Am               F
She’s taking his gold and she’s taking his heart !
    F           G        Am
And now she has come for revenge !
    F           G        Am G Am
And now she has come for revenge !
 
[Verse 7]
   Am          G          Am             G
As day turn to night, she turned out the light
  Am           G      Am G Am
Seducing him into his chamber.
  Am           G     Am           G
Defenceless he laid, blind to his fate
  Am       G      Am G Am
Enchanting by her beauty.
     Dm                     Am
When her work was done, she took up his gun
    Em                       Am
And smiling went back to his chamber
  Dm                   Am                    Em
Before he could rise a shot paced the night.
                  Am G Am
She shot him down dead !
 
[Chorus 6]
         C          G         Am           G
Oh ! She sailed off seas, her visions were cold !
    C           G       F
She sailed from England shore !
      C         G               Am        F
She’s taken his heart and she’s taken his life !
        F         G                Am
And her hands are now painted with blood !
        F         G                Am
And her hands are now painted with blood !
