Аккорды The Jolly Rogers - Bloody Rose Of China

[Intro]
Am

[Verse 1]
Am
Through the smoke, I heard a voice
     F         G     Am
Say "I'll tell you a tale"

"Of the most successful pirate that
F    G         Am
Ever raised a sail"
    F               G
"It wasn't Teach or Avery
       C      G     Am
Wasn't Morgan or Lafitte,

It was a poor widow woman
        F       G      Am
And her massive pirate fleet"

[Chorus]
            C                D
She was the rose, the bloody rose
    Em     D       C
The Bloody Rose of China
    D     A
She was a Pirate Queen!
C                D
With her massive pirate fleet
         Em      D    C
She'd go down in history
                 D         Am
As the girl that owned the China Sea!

[Verse 2]

At a brothel down in Canton
        F       G        Am
Lived a sixteen year old whore

Who didn't mind the work
        F       G        Am
But was looking for much more
     F          G
When pirates invaded
            C       G      Am
Burned that village to the ground

They all ran into the streets and
F          G        Am
Watched it all burn down

[Verse 3]

Before the smoke had cleared
    F     G         Am
She had a brand new life

And a Pirate Captain named Zheng Yi
F     G         Am
Had a brand new wife
   F            G
Together they united all the
C       G      Am
Warring pirate clans

And that was just a tiny part
   F        G      Am
Of her much larger plan

[Chorus]
            C                D
She was the rose, the bloody rose
    Em     D       C
The Bloody Rose of China
    D     A
She was a Pirate Queen!
C                D
With her massive pirate fleet
         Em      D    C
She'd go down in history
                 D         Am
As the girl that owned the China Sea!

[Verse 4]

And a few years later
     F          G        Am
When Zheng Yi's life was through

She clawed her way onto his throne
    F        G
And took his power too
    F               G
She gathered and recruited
      C      G         Am
Every pirate she could find

And it all fell into place
     F      G      Am
Just as she had designed

[Verse 5]

Her fleet it grew so massive
        F       G       Am
That it put the rest to shame

The towns all paid protection
    F       G        Am
The vessels all fair game
        F                G
She had eighteen hundred ships
C     G       Am
Under her command

And with it eighty thousand pirates
   F     G       Am
To carry out her plans

[Chorus]
            C                D
She was the rose, the bloody rose
    Em     D       C
The Bloody Rose of China
    D     A
She was a Pirate Queen!
C                D
With her massive pirate fleet
         Em      D    C
She'd go down in history
                 D         Am
As the girl that owned the China Sea!

[Verse 6]

Her Red Flag fleet it grew so large
   F         G     Am
It could not be ignored

And no one would betray her
   F      G      Am
No matter the reward
    F                     G
The Portuguese sent their Navy
    C       G          Am
The British sent their fleet

And each of them were sent back home
F       G     Am
Humbled by defeat

[Verse 7]

Qing Dynasty sent assassins and
F      G        Am
Envoys to start talks

The one thing they had in common
     F         G    Am
They came home in a box
    F             G
The government it realized
         C        G        Am
This was one they couldn't win

So they came up with a clever plan
   F          G     Am
To bring this to an end

[Chorus]
            C                D
She was the rose, the bloody rose
    Em     D       C
The Bloody Rose of China
    D     A
She was a Pirate Queen!
C                D
With her massive pirate fleet
         Em      D    C
She'd go down in history
                 D         Am
As the girl that owned the China Sea!

[Verse 8]

They offered her full pardon
          F      G         Am
If she agreed to leave the sea

She would keep her plunder
        F         G      Am
And her men would all go free
     F       G
With amnesty granted
        C      G      Am
A great pirate walked away

And a wealthy clever business woman
F         G          Am
Walked on shore that day

[Solo]
C D Em D C D A
C D Em D C D Am

[Verse 9]

"And that's the tale of Ching Shih
    F        G      Am
And it's all true I swear"

"There's a gambling house in Canton
         F         G          Am
And I'll bet that she's still there"
F                G
And with that he faded
         C   G     Am
Into the dim smoky haze

While legends of that Pirate Queen
     F     G    Am
Will never fade away

[Outro]
Am
