[Intro]

[Verse 1] 
N.C. 
Lord Bateman was a noble lord 
             A 
A noble lord of high degree 
      G   A Eadd9 
Imprisoned in some foreign country 
       G        D/F#     E 
To spend his life in captivity 
  
  
[Verse 2] 
     G        A Eadd9 
He is a captain in the King's own Navy 
        G               Aadd9 
He'd spent his life upon the cold grey sea 
      G          A Eadd9 
What would he give now for a plate of meat and gravy 
      G      D/F#           E 
Or for an angel to appear and set him free 
  
  
[Verse 3] 
      G          A Eadd9 
For seven years he lives on bread and dirty water 
     G                   Aadd9 
A single candle in his prison room for light 
      G             A Eadd9 
Into the cell will walk the pretty jailer's daughter 
         G        D/F#        E 
The cloak she's wearing is as black as any night 
  
  
[Chorus] 
     D        G        A 
She is a creature of captivating beauty 
        D         G         A 
As this bold captain's hungry eyes would ever see 
      G        A Eadd9 
She looks upon him with the eye of love's desire 
     G            D/F#        E 
And so he begs her, "Lady, will ye set me free?" 
  
  
[Verse 5] 
      G         A Eadd9 
"What can you offer if you gain your freedom? 
          G                   Aadd9 
I'll lose my heart if I should ever set you free 
      G            A Eadd9 
I have the keys if you'll deliver me a promise 
      G              D/F#        E 
Should I release you, then you'll vow to marry me" 
  
  
[Chorus] 
      D        G      A 
"You are a creature of captivating beauty 
    D         G       A 
We could run and make a life beyond the sea" 
      G          A Eadd9 
He takes her hand in his and makes a solemn promise 
     G         D/F#        E 
"Unchain me now and I will vow to marry thee" 
  
  
[Verse 6] 
     G           A Eadd9 
Beneath the city walls and down into the harbour 
           G               Aadd9 
She'll throw his chains into the wine-dark sea 
          G            A Eadd9 
They'll find a ship, but now his hand is forced to stay her 
         G            D/F#       E 
"In truth, I never could have married thee" 
  
  
[Chorus] 
     D       G       A 
She was a creature of captivating beauty 
         D      G        A 
He still has many miles of ocean to traverse 
      G        A Eadd9 
His broken promises will move the gods to anger 
       G       D/F#         E 
All broken promises will render matters worse 
       G        A Eadd9 
She sees the black storm clouds on the horizon 
       G       D/F#    E    D 
His solemn promises lie broken 
  A/C#         A           G     D/F#        E 
And whispered on the wind, as if it's spoken 
                       Eadd9 
He'll hear a maiden's curse
