Chords for The Last Saskatchewan Pirate

Well, I used to be a [F] farmer and I made [C] a living fine
[Am] I had a [C] little stretch of [G] land along the CP line
[C]
But times were hard and I tried [F] the money [C]
wasn't there
[F] And the bankers [C] came and took me [G] land and told [C] me fair is fair
[Am] Search for every kind of [D] job the answer always [Am] no
Hire you now, it always [G] laughs, we just let 20 go
[Am] The government they [D] promised me a measly little sum
[Am] But I've got too much pride to _ [G] just another
_ _ _ _ _ [F] Then _ I thought who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone
[E] _
_ [D] _ I'm gonna be a pirate
_ on [G] the river Saskatchew _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
It's [C] a he-ho
[F] Coming [C] down the [F] plains and stealing [C] wheat and [G] barley and all the other grains
It's [C] a ho-hi [F] _ [C]-farmer by your door
[F] When you see [C] the Tally Roger [G] on [C] Regina's mighty [F] shore
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Well, you think the local [F] farmers [C] would know that I'm at [F] large
But just the [C] other day [G] I found an unprotected barge
I ran up close behind [Dm] them [C] and they were none the [F] wiser
I rammed [C] their ship and sank [G] it and I stole [C] their fertilizer
[Am]
Bridges out of this [A] job spans a mighty river _
[Am] Farmer's cost is too much [D] fare this coming tariff quiver
[Am]
Cops they know that Captain [A] Jack is hiding in the [Am] bay
Jump the bridge and knock him [G] cold and sail off with the hay
_ _ It's a [C] he-ho
_ [F]
Coming [C] down the plains [F] and stealing [C] wheat and [G] barley and all the other grains
It's [C] a ho-hi _ -farmer by your door
[F] When you see [C] the Tally Roger [G] on [C] Regina's mighty [F] shore
_ [C] _ _ [G] _
_ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, Mountie Bobby chased [F] me
He was [C] always at my [F] throat
He'd fall [C] on the [G] shoreline
Cause he didn't own a boat
[C] _ Cutbacks were coming
[F] And then Mountie [C] lost his job
[F] So now [C] he's sailing with [G] me and we call him [C] Salty Bob
[Am] Swinging sword and stealing [A] bones
Or pleasant company
[Am] I ain't [G] come taxed through the GST
[Am] Sailing down the [D] Saskatoon
The terror of the sea
[Am] You wanna reach the co-op [G] boys
You gotta get by me
_ _ It's [C] a he-ho
_ [F] Coming [C] down the [F] plains and stealing [C] wheat and [G] barley and all the other grains
It's [C] a ho-hi [F]-farmer [C] by your door
[F] When you see the [C] Tally Roger [G] on [C] Regina's mighty [F] shore
_ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Well, the pirate life's appealing
[F] But you just [C] don't find it here
[F] I hear [C] in North Alberta
[G] There's a band of Buccaneers
[C] They roam the [F] Athabasca
From [C] Smith to Port McKay
[F] And you're gonna [C] lose your sets
[G] If you have to [C] pass their [Am] way
Winter is coming
[D] And the chill is in the breeze
[Am] My sailing days are over
[G] When the river starts to [Am] fizz
But I'll be _ [D] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ at the [G] Pondering down in June
_ _ _ _ _ [C] And it's a he-ho
_ Coming down the plains [F] and stealing [C] wheat and [G] barley and all the other grains
It's [C] a ho-hi _ -farmer by your door
[F] When you see the [C] Tally Roger [G] on [C] Regina's mighty [F] shore
_ [C] _ _ [D] _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _
_ [C] And [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ it's a he-ho
Coming down the plains and stealing wheat and [C#] barley and all the [C] other grains
It's a ho-hi [E]-farmer by your door
When you see the Tally Roger on [G] Regina's mighty shore _ _
_ _ _ _ And it's a [C] he-ho
[F] Coming [C] down the plains [F] and stealing [C] wheat and [G] barley and all the other grains
