Intro.:  |(D) / / (G)|(D) / / (G)|(D) / / (G)|(D) ---

(Verse 1)
If I were a (D)pirate, I'd sail away
Across the (G)ocean to another place (D)
I'd (G)captain a (D)good ship, in search of rum
I'd sail in the (G)night time, (A) and sleep in the (D)sun

(Verse 2)
If I were a (D)pirate, I'd pillage the sea
The cannons with (G)thunder, when I'd hit the beach (D)
(G)There'd be a (D)bounty, dead or alive
But one thing a (G)pirate knows, (A) is how to sur-(D)vive

(Chorus)
Well I'd (G)sail the open waters till I (D)reached a distant land
(A)Set on the beach with a bottle of rum with my (G)feet diggin' in the sand (D)
I'd (G)pillage and I'd plunder, for (D)for-(F#m/C#)tune and (Bm)fame
If I were a (G)pirate, (A) you'd know my (D)name

(Verse 3)
The waters are (D)silent, those days are gone
But the waves on the (G)shoreline, sing a song (D)
A song a-(G)bout the (D)old days, when a pirate was free
Go make a (G)killing, (A) out on the (D)sea

(Chorus)
Well I'd (G)sail the open waters till I (D)reached a distant land
(A)Set on the beach with a bottle of rum with my (G)feet diggin' in the sand (D)
I'd (G)pillage and I'd plunder, for (D)for-(F#m/C#)tune and (Bm)fame
If I were a (G)pirate, (A) you'd know my (D)name

(Tag)
Yeah, I'd (G)pillage and I'd plunder, for (D)for-(F#m/C#)tune and (Bm)fame
If I were a (G)pirate, (A) you'd know my (D)name
If I were a (G)pirate (A) ---
