VERSE 1:
 
Gm 
It's three years to the very day 
Eb 
Since a pirate captain said to me 
Bb 
Hey lad come join our crew, 
  F                 D 
Adventure and glory waits for you!  
 
 
Gm 
I took his words as gold 
Eb 
Set sail for quests untold 
       Bb 
With a bottle of rum in my hand 
  D 
I dreamed of wealth and foreign lands! 
 
BREAK: Eb F C D 
 
 
Gm                    Bb 
Hey, you're banjaxed! Hey, you're screwed! 
F            C 
And death is coming for you 
Gm                   Bb 
Trapped on an island lost at sea 
F                  C 
Shipwrecked you'll cease to be! 
 
Gm                    Bb

Shipwrecked your destiny! 
 
REPEAT INTRO 
 
VERSE 2: 
 
Gm 
On the sixteenth night at sea 
Eb 
In the depths of toil and misery 
Bb 
We struck a hidden reef 
F              D 
And our ship began to sink beneath 
 
Gm 
I grabbed some drifting wood 
Eb 
And held on as long as I could 
      Bb 
'Til abandoned on a desert isle 
    D 
Now stuck here 'til the day I die!  
 
BREAK: Eb F C D 
 
 
Gm                    Bb 
Hey, you're banjaxed! Hey, you're screwed! 
F            C 
And death is coming for you 
Gm                   Bb 
Trapped on an island lost at sea 
F                  C 
Shipwrecked you'll cease to be!  
 
Gm                    Bb 
Hey, you're banjaxed! Hey, you're screwed! 
F            C 
And death is coming for you 
Gm                   Bb 
Trapped on an island lost at sea 
F                C 
Shipwrecked your destiny! 
 
 
Shipwrecked!  
Shipwrecked!  
Get drunk or die!  
 
Shipwrecked!  
Shipwrecked!  
Get drunk or die! 
 
REPEAT INTRO 
 
 
Gm                    Bb

And death is coming for you 
Gm                   Bb 
Trapped on an island lost at sea 
F                  C 
Shipwrecked you'll cease to be!  
 
Gm                    Bb 
Hey, you're banjaxed! Hey, you're screwed! 
F            C 
And death is coming for you 
Gm                   Bb
