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
