Verse:
       Em
I set upon the sea
    D                                     Em
To search for phantom sails from tales my mum told me
   Bm                                  Em
A ghostly galleon filled with gold she sails alone
    D
No crew, nor captainʼs guiding hand
    Em               Bm                Em
Can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow

         Em
Sun and horizon met
   D                                   Em
I weighed the anchor, hoisted sails my course was set
   Bm                                  Em
My cutthroat crew conspirinʼ with the stars our guide
     D
They point the way through perils fraught
    Em            Bm                  Em
And lead us to the one they call The Shadow
         Em               Bm               Em
None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow

Chorus:
 C
Lean left!
 G
Hard right!
     Am
Hold tightly to her helm
              Em
Sheʼll try to drown you just for spite
 C
Heave, ho!
     G
ʼTil first light!
              Em               Bm               Em
Sheʼll give a fight to all who try to claim The Shadow
         Em               Bm               Em
None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow

Verse:
         Em
A mighty tempest grew
    D                                     Em
The banshee cried, "Turn Back!" but our resolve was true
   Bm                              Em
We pointed bow ahead and shouted, "Weʼll break through!"
    D
The jaws of hell canʼt hold us back
       Em                Bm                Em
Thereʼs nothing that can keep us from The Shadow

                Em
The winds blew stronger still
    D                                 Em
The ocean raged against us, tried to break our will
   Bm                            Em
The sirens in the water, thirsty for the kill
    D
Our vessel reelinʼ to and fro
   Em            Bm                 Em
To bear us to the one they call The Shadow
         Em              Bm                 Em
None can keep us from the one they call The Shadow

Chorus:
 C
Lean left!
 G
Hard right!
     Am
Hold tightly to her helm
              Em
Sheʼll try to drown you just for spite
 C
Heave, ho!
     G
ʼTil first light!
              Em               Bm               Em
Sheʼll give a fight to all who try to claim The Shadow
         Em               Bm               Em
None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow

Verse:
            Em
As thunder split the sky
    D                                 Em
The lightning drew a shape beyond the tempestʼs eye
   Bm                                  Em
A chill ran through me spine as legend came alive
   D
"Avast!", I cried
                  Em               Bm                 Em
All hands as we prepare to take the one they call The Shadow

         Em
As we approached her shell
     D                                  Em
The skies went silent, seas went calm as if by spell
   Bm                                  Em
No signs of fight or flight were in her all was well
  D
Until I tried to take her helm
    Em          Bm
Her rigging came alive
             Em           Bm
She hung my crew before me eyes
             Em                 Bm               Em
She stole my sight and cursed me Captain of The Shadow
           Em                  Bm              Em
She took my eyes and cursed me Captain of The Shadow

Chorus:
 C
Lean left!
 G
Hard right!
       Am
Steer clear of her I fear
              Em
Sheʼll eat your soul, sheʼll take your life
 C
Heave, ho!
     G
ʼTil first light!
                 Em                 Bm               Em
Sheʼll claim the souls of those who try to tame The Shadow
         Em               Bm               Em
None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow
         Em               Bm               Em
None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow
