Pretty sure he means Skip Henderson's tune Billy Bones. I had the opportunity to play with Skip a bit at St. Augustine Pirate Gathering last year and forgot to ask him for the chords etc. How I regret that! He is real trip, we talked with him between flights at the airport for an hour!

Pirate music at it's best, from 1650 onwards

It's on iTunes. You just can pull the chords off of it by playing along. It shouldn't take more than three run throughs to figure out the progression.
