Have A Care Chords

(ver. 1)
Chris De Burgh
         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!”

Gm
“What shall we do with the boy who’s hiding, 
F
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?”

Gm
“Lock him in the vault so he can’t get out boys, 
F
Lock him in the vault so he can’t get out boys, 
Gm                                              F            Gm
Lock him in the vault so he can’t get out boys, early in the morning!”
