Pirates for Sail - On Returning from Ireland chords
Start Jamming...
So [B] we all [F#] set sail [B] for Ireland
Tis [E] a place where good [G#m] Aeolus flows
[B] Where the women [F#] are fair [B] in that warm summer's air
[C#] And they sing songs that [F#] everyone knows
[E] Shut it!
God help you if you [B] are an Englishman
For [E] you'd better learn [F#] to drink quick
One for the [B] stamp
Irish glasses [E] where they drink their aid in [B] flushes
And they'll drink [F#] it all before [B] you take a sip
We've [E] been kicked out every pub [B] in Ireland
[E] We've been beaten with inches [F#] of the line
For [G#m] we act like asses [E] to those fair Irish [B] glasses
It's a wonder [F#] any one [B] of us survive
Well the girls that live there are quite pretty you see
[E] Their beauty is the fairest [G#m] work of art
[B] And their Irish broad can tame any rogue
[G#m] And send Cupid's arrow [F#] through his heart
[G#m] But they talk too [B] much and they won't shut [E] up
And those [G#m] cursed women do not [C#] know their place
[F#] [B] For if you tell a bird [E] to be seen and not heard
[B] She will hoar [F#] it up and punch [B] you in the face
[E] We've been kicked out every [B] pub in Ireland
[E] We've been beaten with inches of [F#] the line
[B] For we act like [E] asses to those fair Irish glasses
[B] It's a wonder any one of us survive
Well it was there I was drinking one fine morning
[E] Scaring off some pretty [G#m] Irish van
[B] When behind me there loomed such a shadow
[C#] That I leapt from me seat for [F#] to run
[E] Well I swear it was [B] a mountain of muzzle
[E] That broke [F] my jaw and threw [F#] me out the door
[B] Seven is her height [E] but her anger gives her might
[B] As she looks [F#] big when [G#m] we're lying on the floor
We've been [E] kicked out every [B] pub in Ireland
[E] We've been beaten with inches of [F#] the line
For [B] we act like [E] asses to those fair Irish glasses
[B] It's a wonder [F#] any one [B] of us survive
Well every Irish [F#] wench [B] gets a pitch on the arse
[E] When they pass us with their [G#m] guards of hail
And we [F#] loves to flirt, hello, [B] and lift up their skirts
[C#] And offer them a fine [F#] pirate [G#m] feel
Well I often want a penny for a roll in that hay
But then when she cried and she bawled
She should hold that penny dear, [E] she don't make that in a year
[F#] It's no wonder she [B] makes hardly pay at all
We've [E] been kicked out every [G#m] pub in Ireland
[E] We've been beaten with inches [F#] of the line
For [B] we act like [E] asses to those fair Irish glasses
[B] It's a wonder any one of us survive
So good [F#] are the tales of [B] our travels
And [E] from them I pray that you [G#m] will learn
[B] That the girls from [F#] Erin's Isle
Are [B] much more than curls and smiles and curds
Though [C#] in our pirate hearts for them [F#] we yearn
[E] Like whiskey or [B] bitters or a moth to a flame
[E] A more volatile a [F#] mixture's can't be paired
For [B] when you go a [E]-travelling it's that for this you're [B] unravelling
[F#] Belongs to an Irish [B] lass, be prepared!
We've [E] been kicked out every pub [B] in Ireland
[E] We've been beaten with inches [F#] of the line
For [B] we act like asses [E] to those fair Irish glasses
[B] It's a wonder any one of us survive
[E] It's a wonder [F#] any one [B] of us [E] survive [B] Hey!
