[Bb]
[Eb] [D] [Gm]
Let me begin with a [F] hardy ho-ho and a tale [Bb] that nobody tells well.
I've [Gm] not come all the way from [Bb] N.C..I.N.O. to be treated like sewage that [D] smells. I'm [Bb] certainly not that surprised, [Fm] for this story is older [Gm] than time. [Eb] [F] Me peg-legged pirate [G] and brethren and I are society's [F] slug-ridden slime. [Gm] We've all been cast out [Bb] as scallywag rogues [Eb] with fire in our beards and [Bb] our eyes. There's a side to us pirates that nobody knows, and [Eb] it's soft as a baby's [D] backside. [Eb] Some of us just want [Bb] adventures, [D] the open sea wind in our [Bb] [Eb] earrings. [F] Why are we constantly misunderstood? Don't you know pirates have feelings? [Eb] Poor pirates, P-O [Bb]-O-R, [F] poor pirates, P-O [Gm]-O-R. Poor [Eb] pirates [Bb] can't deny this [F] simple truth. Poor [Eb] pirates, [Bb] P-O [D]-O-R, [Gm] people too. Nice harmonies, Matty! Think of how hard [Bb] we have had it. Out [Eb] on ships there is not much [Bb] to eat. [Gm] And dentists take pirate [Bb] insurance. Oh, ho, no! Which [Eb] is why we've so many [D] goatee. Me [Eb] laundry stays damp [Bb] and me boots start to sink. [D] And me fingernails filthy [Fm] and [Eb] dirty. [F] Me internet loads unbelievably slow. And me bedtimes around 7.30. We're [Eb] poor pirates, P [Bb]-O-O-R, poor [F] pirates, P [Gm]-O-O-R. [Eb] Poor pirates [Bb] can't deny this [F] simple truth. We're [Eb] poor pirates, P [Bb]-O-O-R, [F] poor pirates, P [Gm]-O-O-R. [Eb] Poor pirates [Bb] have it so much [D] worse than you. No, no, no. [Eb] We've got pirate parades [Bb] to which nobody comes. [F] Captain Kidd hosts a [Gm] marathon, but nobody runs. [Eb] Bob John Silver invented the balloon, and I-a. [D] [Eb] Captain Bob-Hub, [Bb] no one knows his first name. [F] And no green beer's been driven [Gm] completely insane. [Eb] Hardly anyone [Bb] celebrates our one holiday. [D] Talk like a pirate day! We are [Eb] poor pirates, P [Bb]-O-O-R, [F] poor pirates, P [Gm]-O-O-R. [Bb] Poor [Eb] pirates [Bb] can't deny [F] this simple truth. Can't deny [Gm] it, we're poor [Eb] pirates. P [Bb]-O-O-R, [F] P-O-O [Gm]-R. [Eb] Pirates [Bb] can't deny this simple [F] truth. [Eb] Bad pirates, P-O [D]-O -R. [Gm] People, too. No, no, ha!
