                                                          A  
A noble lord of high degree
                             G                    A                              E9  
Imprisoned in some foreign country
                                     G                         D/F#    E  
To spend his life in captivity
                          G                                    A                              E9  
He is a captain in the King's own Navy
                                          G                                                            A9  
He'd spent his life upon the cold grey sea
                                        G                                      A                                            E9  
What would he give now for a plate of meat and gravy
                          G                            D/F#                                    E  
Or for an angel to appear and set him free
                             G                                              A                                         E9  
For seven years he lives on bread and dirty water
                          G                                                                            A9  
A single candle in his prison room for light
                          G                                                 A                                                 E9  
Into the cell will walk the pretty jailer's daughter
                                             G                                    D/F#                    E  
The cloak she's wearing is as black as any night
                             D                         G                            A  
She is a creature of captivating beauty
                                     D                                      G                                         A  
As this bold captain's hungry eyes would ever see
                                G                                      A                                    E9  
She looks upon him with the eye of love's desire
                             G                                                      D/F#                 E  
And so he begs her, "Lady, will ye set me free?"
                                     G                                 A                                 E9  
"What can you offer if you gain your freedom?
                                     G                                                                                 A9  
I'll lose my heart if I should ever set you free
                                G                                         A                                 E9  
I have the keys if you'll deliver me a promise
                                G                                                         D/F#                      E  
Should I release you, then you'll vow to marry me"
                                  D                         G                            A  
"You are a creature of captivating beauty
                          D                                    G                                      A  
We could run and make a life beyond the sea"
                                     G                                      A                                            E9  
He takes her hand in his and makes a solemn promise
                                  G                                    D/F#                         E  
"Unchain me now and I will vow to marry thee"
                                  G                                    A                                 E9  
Beneath the city walls and down into the harbour
                                                  G                                                              A9  
She'll throw his chains into the wine-dark sea
                                             G                                         A                                              E9  
They'll find a ship, but now his hand is forced to stay her
                                     G                                                 D/F#            E  
"In truth, I never could have married thee"
                                D                         G                            A  
She was a creature of captivating beauty
                                     D                              G                              A  
He still has many miles of ocean to traverse
                                  G                              A                                              E9  
His broken promises will move the gods to anger
                                  G                              D/F#                            E  
All broken promises will render matters worse
                                        G                            A                                    E9  
She sees the black storm clouds on the horizon
                                  G                              D/F#    E    D  
His solemn promises lie broken
                A/C#                              A                                                 G    D/F#    E  
And whispered on the wind, as if it's spoken
                                                             E9  
He'll hear a maiden's curse
         E9
