Tom: Em
Em C D Em
I am not a pirate, but I long to be,
C G G D Em
Sailing by the stars across the seven seas;
Em C D Em
Living with no earthly cares, my mates and me,
C G G D Em
The envy of all worldly men, who are not free.
Em C D Em
A song to sing for beggars, a song to sing for saints,
C G G D Em
A song to sing for wealthy men all wrapped and bound in chains!
Em C D Em
Our treasure's not in gold, or in our piety.
C G G D Em
Our wealth is in an answered call, the longing of the sea!
Em C D Em
Stormy oceans carry us to lands we've never known,
C G G D Em
To mysteries and buried secrets from the tales of old.
Em C D Em
So hoist the sail and raise the flag, we do not stop for night.
C G G D Em
We'll ride the wild winds and waves until the morning's light!
Em C D Em
In smuggler's caves and tavern halls, we live by no man's rules.
C G G D Em
We fly the colors of the living, free and proud and true!
Em C D Em
We set out on the ocean blue to escape tyranny.
C G G D Em
We'll keep our merry hearts alive so long we roam the sea.
Em C D Em
A man once walked along the shore, and called he out to me,
C G G D Em
"I see you are a fisherman, a lover of the sea.
Em C D Em
I know this world's a wretched place, but if you'll follow me
C G G D Em
I'll take all of your burdens... and pirates we shall be!"
