With the [Em]voices getting nearer I knew [G]that I had to hide,
I got [Am]up behind a coffin, then I [B]saw who was inside,
By the [Em]skin and bones of Blackbeard I [G]lay there in the dark,
T?was [Am]then I heard a whisper above the[B] beating of my heart;
?Have a [Em]care, have a care,
T?was [C]evilly come by and no [G]good will [D]you find [C]there,[D]
Have a [Em]care, have a care,
T?was [C]evilly stolen, only [G]pain and [D]sorrow [C]there [D]- have a [Em]care!?
So t?was [Em]from the world of smugglers that I [G]hid myself that night,
And when they [Am]left I opened up the coffin [B]for a look inside,
But in[Em]stead of Blackbeard?s diamonds, in the [G]locket at his heart,
Only [Am]verses from the Bible and a[B] voice came from the dark;
?Have a [Em]care, have a care,
T?was [C]evilly come by and no [G]good will [D]you find [C]there,[D]
Have a [Em]care, have a care,
T?was [C]evilly stolen, only [G]pain and [D]sorrow [C]there [D]- have a [Em]care!?
[Gm]?What shall we do with the boy who?s hiding,
[F]what shall we do with the boy who?s hiding,
[Gm]what shall we do with the boy who?s hiding, [F]early in the [Gm]morning'
[Gm]?Lock him in the vault so he can?t get out boys,
[F]Lock him in the vault so he can?t get out boys,
[Gm]Lock him in the vault so he can?t get out boys, [F]early in the [Gm]morning!?
