For both the intro and the verses it is a walk up from Em to G to C. 


        Em           G         C    
I'd had one too many the night before
      Em                 G        C
And I needed to clear my pounding head
     Em                    G       C
So I headed on down to the Eastern Shore
        Em               G       C 
Sunrise Carolina sky was painted red
         Em                 G         C
Well the wind went whipping around my face.
        Em                   G            C 
And the boats on Juniper bay were deathly still. 
        Em                   G        C
Nothing marking time but the crashing waves. 
Em G C And the grand white lighthouse on the hill. C G D Em When I saw Blackbeard's Ghost in the fog off Ocracoke, C G D like a rainy Sunday morning back in 1704. C G Was he looking for buried treasure, D Em a broken heart from long ago. C D Cause he left both off the coast of Pamlico. C-G-C-G Em G C Legends tells he walked the plank alone, Em G C Others swear he took six bullets straight to hell Em G C By the hand of Captain Maynard on that cold November morn. Em G C And now he roams the beach all by himself. C G D Em Cause I saw Blackbeard's Ghost in the fog off Ocracoke, C G D like a rainy Sunday morning back in 1704. C G Was he looking for his buried treasure, D Em his broken heart from long ago. C D Cause he left both off the coast of Pamlico. C-G-C-G-C-G-D Em Bm And some say they see the lights flickering on the sound C D He's out there every night trying to chase the devil down. C G D Em Cause I saw Blackbeard's Ghost in the fog off Ocracoke, C G D like a rainy Sunday morning back in 1704. C G Was he looking for his buried treasure, D Em his broken heart from long ago. C D Cause he left both off the coast of Pamlico. Outro: C-G-C-G-C-G-Em
