(As best I can tell, these are the correct chords)

INTRO
Em D   Em Bm   Em D   Bm Em

  Em
A dreaded curse - Is spoken of
   G       D      Em
By all men of the sea - An ancient tale
                      G        D    Em
Of pirate's woe - And sailor's tragedy

  Em
A map was drawn - By grizzled men
   G      D      Em
Forgotten years ago - A chest of glory
                      G           D    Em
And mortal sin - That none should ever know

         G
And they searched and they searched
         D
And they searched and they searched
       Em              Bm
For forbidden treasure old
         G               D 
And this curse, and this curse,
         Em              Bm
and this curse, and this curse
        Em       Bm Em
Will forever now be told


  Em
A pirate captain - Of many years
    G           D        Em
Had heard these whispers grim - But lust for treasure
                         G       D       Em
And endless wealth - Had all but blinded him


   Em
He hired a crew - Of hardy men
   G        D      Em
To help him in his cause - They never knew
                     G        D    Em
The danger of - This bounty's evil force


         G
And they searched and they searched
         D
And they searched and they searched
       Em              Bm
For forbidden treasure old
         G               D 
And this curse, and this curse,
         Em              Bm
and this curse, and this curse
        Em       Bm Em
Will forever now be told


    Em
Now stormy nights - When moon is full
     G      D        Em
Will herald in their call - A ghostly crew
                         G      D        Em
Who loot and kill - 'til all before them fall

Now listen, lad - Remember this
     G          D      Em
When foul winds blow a gale - Lest shadow come
                         G     D       Em
And write your name - In adage to this tale
