Prepare Yourself To Fight

Dm              F               
Many years ago, when I was young
G           Am
 I went to sea
Dm                    
To seek for gold and glory and 
F            G         Am
fulfill my destiny
Dm                    F           
But all I gained for working hard 
G          Am
were promises and scorn
Dm                    
Rotten food, diluted grog, and 
F           G          Am
clothing weatherworn
Dm                    F           
Adventure wealth and glory though 
G           Am
was never to be seen
Dm                    
I enlisted on a vessel with a 
F           G          Am
captain oh so mean
Dm                    F           
But for a simple sailor who badly 
G          Am
treated be
Dm                    F           
There's always opportunity of 
G         Am
making mutiny


[Chorus]
Dm                  F
Prepare yourself to fight!
G             Am                 
Come with us unite, draw forth your 
Dm
rapier
F                   
And powder, set sail with us 
G              Am
tonight!
Dm            F            
Because you're free with us
G          Am
 to sea
Dm             F
Combat all injustice
G                Am
Put an end to slavery


[Verse]
Dm                    F           
And you who are a miner and been 
G          Am
for all your days
Dm                    F           
Helpless you are standing there 
G            Am
when your masters underpay
Continues after the ad
Dm                    F           
Bailiffs are so greedy and 
G          Am
deceiving all the serfs
Dm                    F           
So listen up and realize, you 
G          Am
better lives deserve
Dm                    F           
And meanwhile men of noble birth, 
G            Am
they dwell in great abound
Dm                    
The rest of us must struggle in 
F           G           Am
starvation that surround
Dm                    F           
Detractors are just what they are,
G          Am
 malevolent pigs!
Dm                    F           
They took of me my everything, in 
G          Am
poverty I'm bound!


[Chorus]
Dm                  F
Prepare yourself to fight!
G             Am                 
Come with us unite, draw forth your 
Dm
rapier
F                   
And powder, set sail with us 
G              Am

[Verse]
Dm                    
Little maid at the manor, she 
F           G          Am
thought that all was well
Dm                    F           
Age of thirteen, free of men, and 
G           Am
lovely like a spell
Dm                    F           
And just when she had found her 
G           Am
love in a kind and bonny lad
Dm                    F           
Her whole world was turned upside 
G              Am
down and good thing turned to bad
Dm                    F           
It was because of the wicked 
G           Am
Count, an old disgusting man
Dm                    F           
A sadist fuck, so cold and cruel, 
G          Am
a terrible tyrant
Dm                    F           
When he laid eye on the little 
G           Am
maid he laugh and then he said
Dm                    F           
I need this girl to punish her 
G           Am
then take her to me bed
