Being A Pirate chords by Don Freed

G                                                       D
Being a pirate is all fun and games Till somebody loses an ear;
D
It drips down your neck, and it falls on the deck.
                                           G
Till someone shouts out, ?Oy, what's this ?ere??
G
You can't wear your glasses, nor chat up the lasses,
                      G7                    C
Your friends have to shout so you'll hear;
                      G                    D                  G
Being a pirate is all fun and games, till somebody loses an ear.

Chorus
     C                             G
But it's all part, of being a  pirate (a pirate)
                D                            G
You can't be a pirate, with all of your parts;
C                               G
It's all part, of being a pirate (a pirate)
 D                                     G
You can't be a pirate, with all of your parts.
 G                                                  D
Being a pirate is all fun and games  Till somebody loses an eye;

It stings like the blazes, it makes you pull faces,
                                 G
You can't let your mates see you cry.

A dashing black patch will cover the hatch,
                        G7            C
And make sure that the socket stays dry;
                  G                     D                      G
Being a pirate is all fun and games, Till somebody loses an eye.

Chorus
G                                                       D
Being a pirate is all fun and games, Till somebody loses a hand;

It spurts and it squirts and it jolly well hurts,
                          G
Pain only a pirate could stand.

The fash?nable look is a nice metal hook,
                  G7               C
But now you can't play in the band;
                   G                 D                     G
Being a pirate is all fun and games,Till Somebody loses a hand.

Chorus
G                                                          D
Being a pirate is all fun and games, Till somebody loses a leg;

It hurts like the dickens, your pace never quickens,
                    G
Hopping around on a peg.

Ask your sweetheart to marry, too long you've tarried,
                      G7               C
?Cause now you can't kneel down and beg;
                  G                          D              G
Being a pirate is all fun and games, till somebody loses a leg.

Chorus

G                                                      D
Being a pirate is all fun and games, Till somebody loses a head;

It falls with a thud and is covered in blood,
                                 G
And your beard is all sticky and  red.

You cant comb your hair, cos your heads over there,
                    G7               C
But besides that by now you'd be dead;
                  G
Being a pirate is all fun and games,
     D                        G
Till Somebody loses a head.

Chorus
C                    G
So all be aware - it hardly seems fair,
       D                           G
But you can't be a pirate - if you are all there!
