Dm
Gather weary travelers
Gm Dm
I have a tale to tell
Gm Dm
It might just save your lives but only if you listen well
Dm
Cause there before the breakers
Gm
And just around the way
A A
There's a sign that says Beware
A A7 Dm
The Beast of Pirate's Bay
Dm Gm Dm
Some say he's a guppy a kid threw in the sea
Gm Dm A A7
He ate so many sailors now he's bigger than a tree
Dm
His teeth are sharp as scissors
Gm
His claws they are like knives
A A A7 Dm
And if you think he's ugly wait 'till you see his insides
Dm Gm Dm
Oh don't you sail and don't you row and certainly don't you swim
Gm Dm A A7
Cause if you aren't careful you'll end up inside of him
Dm Gm
He'll eat you up he'll spit you out You'd better stay away
A A A A7 Dm
Heed the sign that says Beware the Beast of Pirate's Bay
Dm Gm Dm
Some say he's a serpent that came straight from hell
Gm Dm A A7
To eat the souls of pirates and other ne'er-do-wells
Dm Gm
Some they don't believe it as for me I've got a hunch
A
Cause they used to have some pirates here
A A7 Dm
But he ate them all for lunch
Dm Gm Dm
Don't you sail and don't you row and certainly don't you swim
Gm Dm A A7
Cause if you aren't careful you'll end up inside of him
Dm Gm
He'll eat you up he'll spit you out You'd better stay away
A A A A7 Dm
Heed the sign that says Beware the Beast of Pirate's Bay
Dm Gm Dm
Captain Hook you've heard of him he came to Pirate's Bay
Gm Dm A A7
Seems his little nemesis had nearly got away
Dm Gm
He reached into the water to grab at Peter Pan
A& Gm
There was a crunch and a scream
A A A A7 Dm
And now that scurvy captain's got hooks on both his hands
Dm Gm Dm
Oh don't you sail and don't you row and certainly don't you swim
Gm Dm A A7
Cause if you aren't careful you'll end up inside of him
Dm Gm
He'll eat you up he'll spit you out You'd better stay away
A A A A7 Dm
Heed the sign that says Beware the Beast of Pirate's Bay
Dm Gm Dm
Blackbeard the Pirate you know for what he's feared
Gm Dm A A7
It's mostly for the dark imposing color of his beard
Dm Gm
He saw the beast and now nobody's scared of him because
A
His beard turned white
A
and all agree
A A7 Dm
He looks like Santa Claus
Dm Gm Dm
Oh don't you sail and don't you row and certainly don't you swim
Gm Dm A A7
Cause if you aren't careful you'll end up inside of him
Dm Gm
He'll eat you up he'll spit you out You'd better stay away
A A A A7 Dm
Heed the sign that says Beware the Beast of Pirate's Bay
Dm Gm Dm
Well now the tavern's empty and there's only you and me
Gm A
And if you care I'd like to share how this song came to be
Dm Gm
So come a little closer if you really want to know
A A A A7 Dm
This very sad and woeful tale happened so long ago
Dm Gm Dm
Well I was just a little boy when I went to Pirate's Bay
Gm A
And there I saw a creature that was very much dismayed
Dm Gm
With a harpoon in his dorsal fin and a hook stuck in his side
A A A A7 Dm
This mighty whale was in such pain we both began to cry
Dm Gm Dm
I pushed and I shoved but he wouldn't give way
Gm A
Into the deeper waters off our shallow Pirate's Bay
Dm Gm
All I could do to help him was to keep people away
A A A A7 Dm
So I wrote a sign that said Beware The Beast of Pirate's Bay
And what did it say
Dm Gm Dm
Don't you sail and don't you row and certainly don't you swim
Gm Dm A A7
Cause if you aren't careful you'll end up inside of him
Dm Gm
He'll eat you up he'll spit you out You'd better stay away
A
Heed the sign that says Beware
Gm
Hell I should know I put it there
A A A A7 Dm
Heed the sign that says Beware the Beast of Pirate's Bay
