Calico Jack
Transcription by erikgotborn@hotmail.com (erik gotborn)
Taken from the album "Port Royal".
Some riffs are played with muted strings, and I haven’t count how many
times they play on every chord in some of them, so you have to listen to
the record. I haven’t figured out how to the intro is played, if someone
know, please e-mail it to me.

Calico Jack
Riff 1 x1
Riff 2 x4
Riff 3 x2
Up with the roger, the vessel is close
Cannons are loaded, the weapons prepared
Set up more sails the distance grows
They try to escape but we shan’t care
Riff 4 x1
Riff 5 x2
Calico Jack Listen and hear my command
Calico Jack I lead you to victory
Calico Jack We shall win in the end
Calico Jack You may believe what I forsee
Riff 6 x1
Riff 3 x2
Down with the roger, the vessel’s too far
It’s time for the red flag, no remorse
Anne and Mary, more rum in my jar
I need more refreshments before we set course
Riff 4 x1
Riff 7 x4
Changing the course now, we must get in touch
Triple afford, he must not escape
Our breath in their neck they feel our grudge
We have to hurry to get them in scrape
Riff 8 x2
Fight
Riff 9a x1
Riff 9b x1
Riff 9a x1
Riff 9c x1
Riff 10 x1
Riff 11 x4
Riff 12 x4
Riff 13 x4
Acrid smell of smoke in the air
White flag’s rising, mainmast breaks
Ears go deaf by my brother’s blare
Upper deck is taken over
Riff 14 x1
Riff 13 x2
All of a sudden a yelling cry
Ports turn open what a mess
Soldiers get out ‘n’ comrades die
Desperate fights, we’re on the loose
Riff 14 x2
Riff 15 x15
John Rackham
You are charged with murder and piracy on the high seas
In the name of Her Majesty you will be taken from this court
And hung, drawn and quarted
What are your last words?
My last words? Ha ha!!
Who do you think you are?!
What right have you to judge over my destiny?!
Take your pompous words and stick ‘em up were the sun don’t shine
I swear we meet again
Bye
