[Intro]
D G D G D G D
[Verse]
D
If I were a pirate, I'd sail away
G D
Across the ocean to another place
G D
I'd captain a good ship, in search of rum
G A D
I'd sail in the night time, and sleep in the sun
[Verse]
D
If I were a pirate, I'd pillage the sea
G D
The cannons with thunder, when I'd hit the beach
G D
There'd be a bounty, dead or alive
G A D
But one thing a pirate knows, is how to sur- vive
[Chorus]
G D
Well I'd sail the open waters till I reached a distant land
A G D
Set on the beach with a bottle of rum with my feet diggin' in the sand
G D F#m/C# Bm
I'd pillage and I'd plunder, for for- tune and fame
G A D
If I were a pirate, you'd know my name
[Instrumental]
G D A G A D G D
[Verse]
D
The waters are silent, those days are gone
G D
But the waves on the shoreline, sing a song
G D
A song a- bout the old days, when a pirate was free
G A D
Go make a killing, out on the sea
[Chorus]
G D
Well I'd sail the open waters till I reached a distant land
A G D
Set on the beach with a bottle of rum with my feet diggin' in the sand
G D F#m/C# Bm
I'd pillage and I'd plunder, for for- tune and fame
G A D
If I were a pirate, you'd know my name
G D F#m/C# Bm
Yeah, I'd pillage and I'd plunder, for for- tune and fame
G A D
If I were a pirate, you'd know my name
G A
If I were a pirate
