Pirates of the Caribbean // Hoist the Colours (Cover)

As requested, my simple cover of this song from "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's Ende" (composed by Hans Zimmer, in the original sung by a young boy and a chorus).

I used these chords with a capo on 1: https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/hans_zimmer/hoist_the_colours_chords_1152785 (it's a bit low for my vocal register but I liked the sound better than when I tried singing it in a higher key).

The lyrics from that chord version are not 100% correct though! I only noticed it after I had already recorded it singing "pay head the squall" and had to do it all over again @_@ (I'm not a native English speaker so I just thought it was some archaic turn of phrase.)

Some variations of the lyrics do seem exist, such as the refrain going "yo ho, all hands, hoist the colors high" but I ultimately ended up using this version and I hope it's somewhat correct:

The king and his men
Stole the queen from her bed
And bound her in her bones
The seas be ours and by the powers
Where we will, we'll roam

Yo ho, haul together, hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die

Some men have died and some are alive
And others sail on the sea
With the keys to the cage
And the devil to pay
We lay to Fiddler's Green!

Yo ho, haul together, hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die

The bell has been raised
From its watery grave.
Hear its sepulchral tone!
A call to all, pay heed the squall
And turn your sails to home!

Yo ho, haul together, hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die
