TTTO Who's on the Lord's Side, Who? by Henry H. Russell

G Who’s on the starboard side? D7 Now is the time to fight! Grab cutlass, cannon ball, G Those on the starboard side. C B7 We wage a common war, C B7 With the British navy men, Em Kill them and get their gold. G D7 Those on the starboard side— G Who’s on the starboard side D7 Now is the time to fight! Grab cutlass, cannon ball, G Those on the starboard side. G Those on the port side run, D7 Run now to save our ship, We’re being boarded now, G Hurry to the starboard side. C B7 Put on your brown pants C B7 So no one can see your shit. Em Put on your crimson shirt, G D7 Then hurry to starboard side. G Who’s on the starboard side D7 Now is the time to fight! Grab cutlass, cannon ball, G Those on the starboard side. G Those lounging on the stern, D7 Watching all your friends die. Get off your lazy butts, G And run to starboard side. C B7 Our flag has been shot down, C B7 And our mast is set aflame. Em We all will die if you G D7 Don’t hurry to starboard side. G Who’s on the starboard side D7 Now is the time to fight! Grab cutlass, cannon ball, G Those on the starboard side. G Good job, keep fighting men! D7 Don’t mind me while I load Our gold into a skiff G Stay on the starboard side. C B7 Gold, life, and liberty C B7 Freedom from death and jail Em Is what you’re fighting for— G D7 Stay on the starboard side. G I’m casting off the skiff D7 I’m sailing out to sea The gold and I are safe G Right off on the portside
