            Em      
I set upon the sea  
 D                                      
To search for phantom sails from tales  
 Em             
my mom told me  
 Bm                                
Aghostly galleon filled with gold  
 Em              
she sails alone  
 D                                  
No crew nor captain's guiding hand

Sun andāŸhorizon met  
D                                        
I weighed the anchor, hoisted sails, my  
Em              
course was set  
 Bm                                    
My cutthroat crew conspiring with the  
Em               
stars our guide  
D                                          
They point the way through perils fraught  
Em                      Bm           
To lead us to the one they call The  
Em      
Shadow  
   
Em                                     Bm

Hold tightly to her helm  
Em                                      
She'll try to drown you just for spite

The Shadow  
   
               Em      
A mighty tempest grew  
D                                       
The banshee cried "Turn back!" but our  
Em                
resolve was true  
Bm                                
We pointed bow ahead and shouted  
Em                      
"We'll break through!"  
D                                    
The jaws of hell can't hold us back  
Em                                  Bm 
There's nothing that can keep us from

The Shadow

The winds blew stronger still  
D                                    
The ocean raged against us tried to  
Em              
break our will  
Bm                       
The sirens in the water  
           Em        
thirsty forthe kill  
D                              
Our vessel reeling to and fro

As thunder split the sky  
D                                      
The lightning drew a shape beyond the  
Em             
tempest's eye  
     Bm                                 
A chill ran through me spine as legend  
Em          
came alive  
D                                    Em 
Avast I cried all hands as we prepare

As we approached her shell  
D                                      
The skies went silent, seas went calm  
Em              
as if by spell  
Bm                                       
No signs of fight or flight were in her  
Em            
all was well  
 D                               
Until I tried to take her helmā€¦  
Em                  D 
Her rig became alive  
                      Em         
She hung my crew before me eyes  
                      Em         
She stole my sight andcursed me  
D                    Em 
Captain of The Shadow

Hard Right! (Hard Right!)
