My gosh Sandy your head is on fire with song story possibilities. This feels like a new song again from the sick pirate one.
So many possibilities for the group song. So besides the love song Sandy is developing and Daryl's octopuses garden number, it looks like we've got at least four or is it five different songs emerging that all use the F Bb G progression which could be turned into a group project if people want to do that. They look something like the following.
I looks like the song story is still in flux. I'll wait for the ideas to settle and for a preferred story to come to the surface before I write more.
But I might still record the progression this evening and post that perhaps. I'm pretty sure my offerings don't match the meter on Neil's progression and would need adjusting. The progression track would help us develop further stuff and refine what we have already.
Who knew that pirates was such a fertile song-writing ground.
Progression: all bar chords. Fast strumming.

Legend of the TG Mutiny
I clicked on the link and to my surprise
There they opened up before my eyes
One hundred twenty-seven Forum replies
It was a TG mutiny!
It was quite a sight to see!
We had Shel, Willem and Dermot, too
Sandy, with her her rooster and the rest of the crew
You can never tell what they're going to do
On this ship of bloody good mates!
We've set sail with bloody good mates!
They came together from the seven seas
With swords and plungers and amputees
For a little bit of banter and repartee
Oh those bloody good mates!
They're all such bloody good mates!
So come on all you pirates with a line or two
And post to the Forum with what's bugging you
You'll be sure to get a answer from this motley crew
As they respond to the other good mates!
Because were all such bloody good mates!
Pirate Minstrel
I am a pirate, a pirates minstrel
Not with one leg or an hook,
Or with earring and tattoo.
Not with a wicked soul but one with a uke.
Sometimes my lips build a castle
Sometimes they just fall off
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh
Lets float this bloody old boat
Yo ho Yo oh, some of the lines I stole
I am a pirate, a pirates minstrel
Not a lady killer,thats Robin Hood
Not with a parrot or with scare
Sometimes tapping my foot
Sometimes sweeping the floor
Mmmmmmmm etc (with melody) common lets roll
Common lets Rock!! and roll you bloody good mates
Yo ho yo ho Jumping Jack Flash
Dying Pirate
They say I'm dying
It's time to go
Packing my bags
I'm ready you know
Said bye to my friends
Gonna miss ya though
I've had a great time.
Verse 2?
My bags of treasure
So bright and so bold
Oh my darlings
The memories they hold
Each one a victory
So shiny, so sweet
I'll recount a few,
come sit at my feet
Verse 3?
My inky captain's hat
A favourite of mine
Smell and taste the salty grime
Been knocked in the drink
Been skewed to my ear
Blackbeard shot a musket ball
right through here
Love this blood stained hat.
We sailed upon a barkadeer
We sailed upon a barkadeer thread, we brethren of the coast
Blimey, is that a picaroon, hanging a bit of the jib?
Once we had a taste of the cat, we sailed back to the open waters
before we had to walk the plank to Davy Jones' locker
