Chords for The Last Saskatchewan Pirate

I used to be a farmer and I [D] made a little fine
I had a little stretch of [A] land along the CP [D] line
The times are hard and though [G] I tried the money wasn't there
And bankers [A] came and took my land and told me there's fare
[Bm] I looked for every kind of job, they [Em] answer always no
[Bm] I know they'd always [A] laugh, we just let 20 go
The government, they [Em] promised me a measly little [Bm] sum
But I've got too much [A] pride to end up just another bum _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ [G] Then I thought who gives a damn if all the jobs are [F#] gone
[E] I'm gonna be a pirate on [A] the river _ Saskatchewan
_ _ _ [A#] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ It's a hook
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ I went down the bank, stealing [A] wheat and barley and all the [Bm] other grains
And it's a ho, hey, hey, hey, farmers, bar your doors
When you see the [A] Jolly Roger on Virginia's [D] mighty shore _ _
Well you'd think the [G] local farmers would know that I'm a lard
But just the other [A] day I saw an unsuspecting [D] bard
I snuck up right behind him but they were none the wiser
I wrapped their ship and sank it and I stole their [Bm] fertilizer
I ran outside of Moose Jaw, Spans a mighty river
The farmers quested so [A] much beer their stomachs are full [Bm] of fur
As they know the [Em] tractor's here, it's waiting in the [Bm] bay
I jumped the bridge and [A] knocked them's hole in, tail off with their hay
[Bm] As if to heave, ho, [G] hey, ho, coming down the bank
Stealing wheat and [A] barley and all the other [Bm] grains
And it's a ho, hey, [D] hey, hey, farmers, bar your doors
When you see the Jolly [A] Roger on Virginia's mighty shore _ _ _ _ _
_ Well Mountie Bobby chased me, he was always at my throat
He followed on the shoreline cause he didn't own a [D] boat
But my facts were up [G] coming at the Mountie lost his job
So now he's sailing with me and we call him Salty [Bm] Bob
A dwingin' sword, a [Em] scallin' mold, a pleasant company
[Bm] I never pay my [A] income taxes through the DST
[Bm] I now run down the [Em] Saskatoon, the terror of the sea
[Bm] If you wanna reach the Coa, [A] boy you gotta get by me
As [Bm] if to heave, ho, [D] hey, ho, down the bank
Stealing wheat and [A] barley and all the other grains
[Bm] And it's a ho, hey, hey, hey, farmers, bar your doors
When you see the Jolly [A] Roger on Virginia's mighty shore
Are ya salty dog?
Are ya salty gopher?
Are ya salty male hay? _
_ Well part of life's [D] appealing but you don't just find it here
I heard that in [A] Alberta there's a band of [D] buccaneers
They roam the Athabasca, spend the fortnight hay
And you're bound to lose your [A] steps and if you have to pass their [Bm] way
But winter is a [Em]-comin' and the chill is in the [Bm] breeze
Our pirate days are [B] over once the river starts to [Bm] freeze
I'll be back in [Em] springtime but now I've got to [Bm] go
I hear there's lots of [A] plundering down in New Mexico
_ [Bm] As if to heave, ho, [D] hey, ho, coming down the bank
Stealing wheat and [A] barley and all the other [Bm] grains
And it's a ho, hey, hey, hey, farmers, bar your doors
When you see the Jolly [A] Roger on Virginia's mighty shore
As if to heave, ho, [G] hey, ho, coming down the bank
Stealing [F#m] wheat and barley and all the [F#] other grains
And it's a ho, hey, hey, [D] hey, farmers, bar your doors
When you see [G] the Jolly Roger on Virginia's mighty shore
When you see the Jolly Roger on [A] Virginia's mighty [Bm]
shore _ _ _ _ _ _ _
