I wanna be, I wanna be, I [F#] wanna be, I wanna be, [D#] I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be a pirate too.
[Em]
[E] Lived on the land, lived by the shore, Dad snuck around till he got bored.
Looked to the sky, looked to the sea, shouted the waves, now can't you see?
I'm just a lad, I'm all alone, my mother's gone, I've got no home, I'll grab my gear and head to town, so the whole damn world can hear my sound.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be a pirate too.
Looked about for a seaside bar, didn't have to look too far.
Went right in and the press gang ran, so I stepped right up, said, count me [B] in.
The boarman said, well, bless my soul, I've never seen one so bold.
[E] Said, have a drink and grab your gear, we'll sail with the tide, so hit the pier.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be a pirate too.
Now we saw her clear, all fat and slow, laden, full and sitting low.
With a Spanish flag, her tale was told, she's bound for home with western [B] gold.
We'll take her down and strip her [E] bones, we'll send her crew to Davy Jones.
So man your guns, boys, man them well, and on my mark we'll unleash hell.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be a pirate too.
We took her heart, we took her gold, we used her prize to fill our hole.
We turned south to Montego Bay, with a final shot we were on our way.
We laughed and sang and broke from out, but we rose with a lookout [C#] shout.
Two Spanish ships, both men of war, [E] lining way between us and shore.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be a pirate [E] too.
Their cannons blazed and the mass was gone, we knew that it would not be long.
They stormed the ship and sabers flew, but we rallied back cause we all knew.
The fight went on though we were lost, we got our gold.
But at what cost?
I saw him there, I pulled my blade, the Spaniard smiled and so I sang.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be a pirate too.
I saw the thrust, I felt the pain, I saw my [Dm] life began to wane.
With a final blow, [E] I struck his head, but I knew that soon we'd both be dead.
We lay there upon the deck as I thought about my own doomed trek.
I heard a voice from next to me, singing in Spanish, now can't you see that?
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be a [Em] pirate too.
Listen hard, you listen well, there are so many tales to tell.
Beyond the sea, beyond the waves, you'll hear them all beyond the graves.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be,
