Capo 1st Fret (to match original recording)

Intro: (F) (F) (Bb) (C) (F) x 2

I (F) wish I was a pirate shipwrecked (Bb) down in (C) Mexi(F)co
Where the oceans turn to silver and the (Bb) beaches (C) turn to (F) gold
I'd make love to some senor(Bb)ita (C) in that (F) town
I'd get on my boat and I'd (Bb) sail the (C) ocean (F) round

(F) (F) (Bb) (C) (F)

I wish I was a pirate out there under my own flag
Running for no reason and no reason to turn back
The salt and rum on my tongue, sails tattered and torn
Laughing in the devil's face, riding out the storm

  (Gm) Ooh, one (F) of these (Bb) days
  Gonna (F) get off of this highway
  Wake up in some bay
  With the (Gm) sunshine (F) on my (Bb) face
  Saint (C) Christopher on a silver chain
  Say a prayer and sail away

(F) (F) (Bb) (C) (F) x 4

( Repeat Chorus )

I wish I was pirate on some ghost ship in the night
With nothing but the stars, the moon and faith to be my guide
Steady as she goes with my back to the wind
Then in a cloud of cannon smoke out, I disappear again

(F) (F) (Bb) (C) (F) x 4
