[G#] Being drunk and weary, I

[Fm] in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped
[C#] up, fired off my pistols, and I
[G#] shot him with both barrels

VERSE 4:
Now
[G#] some men like the fishin', and
[Fm] some men like the fowlin'
and
[C#] some men like to hear, the
[G#] cannon ball a roarin'
Me? I
[G#] like sleepin',
[Fm] especially in my Molly's chamber
But
[C#] here I am in prison, here I
[G#] am with ball and chain, yeah
