Intro: Dm Verse 1: Dm It’s a mere misunderstanding when they say I hate my family A# A Dm When those liars claim that I don’t write nor read Dm I could have graduated Harvard, could have got myself some job A# A Dm But I had just knew it was the pirate's life for me Dm So I memorized some pirate songs, and fashioned out of Styrofoam A# A Dm G fancy friggin’ ocean-faring craft Dm And I set out from my island home, prospective and a pile of bones, A# A Dm And promised that I never would be back A# A Dm Oh, I promised that I never would be back
Chorus 1: A# F A Dm And my first day on the waves, I mеt a yacht transporting slaves A# A Dm And I knew the vеssel’s captain was a crook A# F A Dm I appeared upon the bow, and told them I’m the captain now A# A Dm And if you squint, I’ll shoot you dead with my good looks Verse 2: Dm I was big man on the yacht, I found the hold was filled with scotch A# A Dm And by the evening, boy, a party had begun Dm I set free all the slaves, we put the captain in a cage, A# A Dm And drank the scotch as we pretended it was rum Dm We danced the deck until the dawn, ch-cheering our asylum on A# A Dm We slept beneath the whispering ocean breeze Dm And while we dreamed our pirates' tales, the ocean blew some mighty gale A# A Dm And sank my ship and all were drowned but me Chorus 2: A# F A Dm And I washed upon a darkened shore in front of a department store A# A Dm I tried my trade in women’s shoes A# F A Dm The boss said I’d arrived at last, so forget about your pirate past, A# A Dm This is how it feels to be of use Verse 3: Dm So I set up for the circus act, I dragged my ass to work and back, A# A Dm And figured that my wounds in time would close Dm Late at night my limbs were numb, and so I had drink 'til dawn A# A Dm And I began to plan one final voyage A# A Dm I began to plan one final voyage Chorus 3: A# F A Dm So I learned again my pirate songs, and fashioned out of Styrofoam A# A Dm Another fancy faring-ocean craft A# F A Dm I sail beneath the sky alone, a specter of an Irish brogue, A# A Dm You’d like to be of use but I must pass A# A Dm You’d like to be of use but I must pass A# A Dm Yes, you’d like to be of use but I must pass
