Вступление
[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
