Pirate Song

Capo fret 2

G.....................D.................Am......................C............................G.................. D......................Am.........C 
Moby once told me the coordinates for gold, gave me the rise and the run and I ran away.
G.....................D...........................Am...................C...................G.................. D......................Am.........C
Compass for adventure, bandanna and blue jeans, when I heard the dashes and the dots.
....................G....................D...................Am...................C............G......................................D.......Am......C
Saw your sail and your hull, the white flag on the pole; you surrendered though I just said hello.



Chorus
......................G...D....Am....C
Called me a pirate.
...................G.................. D......................Am.........C 
Said I plundered and I stole your heart.
.....G.........................D......................Am....................C........ 
I didn't mean to break it, I didn't even want to take it,
......G...................................D.......................Am...........C 
but I blinked twice and you had stowed away.


Bridge: D..................................Em...............................................
I can reassure you I did not choose to board you.
...D............................................C...................D.... 
I swear on Davy Jones, you did this too yourself.

*clap clap*


G.....................D.................Am......................C............................G.................. D......................Am.........C 
Man overboard! I sincerly pray the Lord will bless you with love to come.
G.....................D.................Am......................C............................G.................. D......................Am.........C
But that love isn't me. No, I'm not the key that's going to unleash the heart in your chest.
G.....................D.................Am......................C..................... 
I got no need for an anchor, don't wanna be held down.
................G.................. D...................Am.........C 
I may regret it in the end but at least I'm free.


Chorus ..........G...D....Am....C 
I'm a pirate.
.....G....................D..........Am.........C 
I wander and I never dock
G............................D......Am.............................C........ 
Live on billowed sails, flirt with sharks and whales
.........G..............................D.................................Am...........C 
And when I change my mind the waves don't fuss.

Bridge: D..................................Em...............................................
I know I hurt you, It feels like I desert you.
...D...................................................C........................D....
I made you walk the plank, but it's not you it's me.

*Goes into a trio and audience participation of all your favorite pirate phrases while following the GDEmC chord progression

..........G...D....Am....C 
I'm a pirate.
.....G....................D..........Am.........C 
I see land but I keep to sea
..........G...D....Am....C 
I'm a pirate.
.....G....................D..........Am.........C 
I see land but I keep to sea

G.....................D.................Am......................C............................G.................. D......................Am.........C 
Moby once told me the coordinates for gold, gave me the rise and the run and I ran away.
