Guitar chords with lyrics
THE LAST SASKATCHEWAN PIRATE Captain Tractor ACOUSTIC VERSE 1 C F G C Well I used to be a farmer, and I made a living fine. F C G I had a little stretch of land along the CP line. C F G C But times went by and though I tried , the money wasn't there, F C G and the bankers came and took my land and told me fair is fair. PRECHORUS Am D I looked for every kind of job the answer always no, Am G Hire you now they always laughed we just let 20 go Am D The government they promised me a measly a little sum Am G But I've got too much pride to end up just another bum, A Dm Then I thought who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone, D G I'm gonna be a pirate, on the river Saskatchewan
