Have A Care

Text File
         Em                           G                    
With the voices getting nearer I knew that I had to hide,
      Am                         B
I got up behind a coffin, then I saw who was inside,
       Em                             G
By the skin and bones of Blackbeard I lay there in the dark,
      Am                              B
T�was then I heard a whisper above the beating of my heart;
        Em
�Have a care, have a care,
      C                     G         D        C      D 
T�was evilly come by and no good will you find there,
       Em
Have a care, have a care,
      C                   G        D      C     D         Em
T�was evilly stolen, only pain and sorrow there -  have a care!�
         Em                                 G
So t�was from the world of smugglers that I hid myself that night,
              Am                          B
And when they left I opened up the coffin for a look inside,
      Em                                     G
But instead of Blackbeard�s diamonds, in the locket at his heart, 
     Am                         B
Only verses from the Bible and a voice came from the dark;
        Em
�Have a care, have a care,
      C                     G         D        C      D 
T�was evilly come by and no good will you find there,
       Em
Have a care, have a care,
      C                   G        D      C     D         Em
T�was evilly stolen, only pain and sorrow there -  have a care!�

what shall we do with the boy who�s hiding, 
Gm                                          F            Gm
what shall we do with the boy who�s hiding, early in the morning?�

�Lock him in the vault so he can�t get out boys,

Lock him in the vault so he can�t get out boys,

Lock him in the vault so he can�t get out boys, early in the morning!�
