[Verse 1]
C C * G G C C
Oh, the year was seventeen seventy-eight
* F F C C G G (*)
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C C G G C C *
A A letter of marque came from the king
* * G G F F
To the scummiest vessel I'd ever seen

[Chorus]
G G C C * F F
God damn them all, I was told,
C C F F C C F F
We'd cruise the seas for A A-merican gold
G G C C G G F F (*)
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
C C F F C C F F
But I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
* * G G C C
The last of Barrett's Priva-teers

[Verse 2]
C C * G G C C
Well, Elcid Barrett cried the town
* F F C C G G (*)
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C C G G C C *
For twenty brave men, all fishermen, who
* * G G F F
Would make for him the Antelope's crew

[Chorus]
G G C C * F F
God damn them all, I was told,
C C F F C C F F
We'd cruise the seas for A A-merican gold
G G C C G G F F (*)
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
C C F F C C F F
But I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
* * G G C C
The last of Barrett's Priva-teers

[Verse 3]
C C * G G C C
The Antelope sloop was a sickening sight
* F F C C G G (*)
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C C G G C C *
She'd a list to the port and her sails in rags
* * G G F F
And the cook in the scuppers with the staggers and jags

[Chorus]
G G C C * F F
God damn them all, I was told,
C C F F C C F F
We'd cruise the seas for A A-merican gold
G G C C G G F F (*)
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
C C F F C C F F
But I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
* * G G C C
The last of Barrett's Priva-teers

[Verse 4]
C C * G G C C
On the King's birth-day we put to sea
* F F C C G G (*)
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C C G G C C *
We were ninety-one days to Mon-tego Bay
* * G G F F
Pumping like madmen all the way

[Chorus]
G G C C * F F
God damn them all, I was told,
C C F F C C F F
We'd cruise the seas for A A-merican gold
G G C C G G F F (*)
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
C C F F C C F F
But I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
* * G G C C
The last of Barrett's Priva-teers

[Verse 5]
C C * G G C C
On the ninety-sixth day we sailed a-gain
* F F C C G G (*)
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C C G G C C *
When a bloody great Yankee hove in sight
* * G G F F
With our cracked four-pounders, we made to fight

[Chorus]
G G C C * F F
God damn them all, I was told,
C C F F C C F F
We'd cruise the seas for A A-merican gold
G G C C G G F F (*)
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
C C F F C C F F
But I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
* * G G C C
The last of Barrett's Priva-teers

[Verse 6]
C C * G G C C
The Yankee lay low down with gold
* F F C C G G (*)
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C C G G C C *
She was broad and fat and loose in stays
* * G G F F
But to catch her took the Antelope two whole days

[Chorus]
G G C C * F F
God damn them all, I was told,
C C F F C C F F
We'd cruise the seas for A A-merican gold
G G C C G G F F (*)
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
C C F F C C F F
But I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
* * G G C C
The last of Barrett's Priva-teers

[Verse 7]
C C * G G C C
Then at length we stood two cables a-way
* F F C C G G (*)
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C C G G C C *
Our cracked four-pounders made an awful din
* * G G F F
But with one fat ball the Yank stove us in

[Chorus]
G G C C * F F
God damn them all, I was told,
C C F F C C F F
We'd cruise the seas for A A-merican gold
G G C C G G F F (*)
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
C C F F C C F F
But I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
* * G G C C
The last of Barrett's Priva-teers

[Verse 8]
C C * G G C C
The Antelope shook and pitched on her side
* F F C C G G (*)
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C C G G C C *
Barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs
* * G G F F
And the main-truck carried off both me legs

[Chorus]
G G C C * F F
God damn them all, I was told,
C C F F C C F F
We'd cruise the seas for A A-merican gold
G G C C G G F F (*)
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
C C F F C C F F
But I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
* * G G C C
The last of Barrett's Priva-teers

[Verse 9]
C C * G G C C
So here I lay in me twenty-third year
* F F C C G G (*)
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C C G G C C *
It's been six years since we sailed a-way
* * G G F F
And I just made Halifax yester-day

[Chorus]
G G C C * F F
God damn them all, I was told,
C C F F C C F F
We'd cruise the seas for A A-merican gold
G G C C G G F F (*)
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
C C F F C C F F
But I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
* * G G C C
The last of Barrett's Priva-teers
