          CAPTAIN KIDD by Great Big Sea

Tabbed by: R. Pereira

Tuning: EADGBE

Hello. This is my first TAB so any 
additions, corrections and comments 
would be
appreciated. First off you should 
have a CAPO on the third fret. 
Afterwards just
use the chord patterns for the 
chords listed. The rhythm pattern 
for playing the
chords can easily be discerned by 
listening to the CD. As you’ll see 
the song is
rather simple, but it’s a superb 
song for parties or by the campfire,
 and is easily
memorized (the chords anyway). Plus 
it’s just a great song. What I have 
sounded okay
by my ear when I played it with the 
studio CD, but as I said any 
corrections/improvement
would be appreciated. Enjoy.

NB: For those unfamiliar Dsus4 
should be played as follows:

Intro:  D Dsus4 D (quarter rest for

Chorus:
   D       Dsus4   D             
My name is Captain Kidd as I 
         A
sailed, as I sailed
      D       Dsus4   D      
Oh my name is Captain Kidd as I 
    A
sailed
   G                        D     
My name is Captain Kidd and God's 
            A
laws I did forbid
         G          A           D 
And most wickedly I did as I 
Dsus4 D
sailed.

   D      Dsus4      D           
My father taught me well to shun 
             A
the gates of hell
    D         Dsus4 D           
But against him I rebelled as I 
A
sailed
            D      Dsus4  D      
He shoved a Bible in my hand but 
                 A
I left it in the sand
      D     Dsus4      D         
And I pulled away from land as I 
   A
sailed

Chorus

I murdered William Moore and I left 
him in his gore
Twenty leagues away from shore as I 
sailed,
And being crueler still, the gunner 
I did kill
All his precious blood did spill as 
I sailed,
