Em D
Last night, I saw it there,
C D Em
Shining in the dark again,
D C
The light that all men seem to fear,
D G D C
They say that sailors were drowning in the bay,
Am
And people kept away,
F Em
Waiting for the riches that a wreck would bring,
D
When the morning comes,
C D Em
And now the ghost of Blackbeard walks again,
C D Em
To haunt the ones who would not hear the pain
D C D Em
Help me,
D C D Em
Help me...
D C D Em
I took the old path down, down to where the graveyard lay,
D C
The place I knew when I was young,
D G D C
They say that Blackbeard had hidden precious stones,
Am
Amongst the ancient bones,
F Em
So I set off to the darkness down below,
D
By the candle glow,
C D Em
T'was then I heard the voices, saw a light,
C D Em
And started on the journey of my life...
