Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires released a cover of Warren Zevon's 'Mutineer' on an EP called 'Sea Song'. After
watching a video of them play it, I figured out how Jason plays it on his acoustic guitar. It's different than
Warren's, but still great. Capo the 2nd fret!
verse 1:
C F
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
C Am
Hoist the main sails, here I come
F C
Ain't no room on board for the insincere
F G C
You're my witness, I'm your mutineer
verse 2:
C F
I was born to rock the boat
C Am
Some may sink but we will float
F C
Grab your coat, let's get out of here
F G C
You're my witness, I'm your mutineer
G Am
Long ago we laughed at shadows
F C
Lightning flash, thunder follows
F C
They could never find us here
F G C
You're my witness, I'm your mutineer
(Amanda Shines plays a violin solo here, Jason just plays the verse without singing)
verse 3:
C F
I was born to rock the boat
C Am
Some may sink but we will float
F C
Grab your coat, let's get out of here
F G C
You're my witness, I'm your mutineer
G Am
Long ago we laughed at shadows
F C
Lightning flash, thunder follows
F C
They could never find us here
F G C
You're my witness, I'm your mutineer
F G C
You're my witness, I'm your mutineer
End on C
