Verse 1:
C majorC                        G+G
I walked outside one day and a man was standing there
                       C majorC
He had a great big beard and lots and lots of hair
                              FF
He said won't you come down to the shore and join my jolly crew
            C majorC    G+G         C majorC
We'll wander round the world, beneath the skies of blue


Chorus:
   FF       C majorC      G+G        A minorAm
We'll sail upon the seven seas, travel near and far
FF           C majorC          G+G        C majorC
take from the rich and give to the poor and say har har har har

Verse 2:
C majorC                        G+G
We'll go out on the ocean and when the coast is clear
                     C majorC
We'll eat birthday cake each day of the year
                           FF
We'll land on a little island and then we'll form a choir
           C majorC     G+G       C majorC
Blow on whistles and kazoos and dance around a fire


Chorus:
   FF       C majorC      G+G        A minorAm
We'll sail upon the seven seas, travel near and far
FF           C majorC          G+G        C majorC
take from the rich and give to the poor and say har har har har


Verse 3:
C majorC                    G+G
If we see the Navy We will shout with pride
                         C majorC
We are scary hairy pirates So you better run and hide
                           FF
We'll stamp our feet upon the floor and our peg legs too
            C majorC        G+G          C majorC
We'll take your stolen treasure 'cause that's what pirates do


Chorus:
   FF       C majorC      G+G        A minorAm
We'll sail upon the seven seas, travel near and far

take from the rich and give to the poor and say har har har har

   FF       C majorC      G+G        A minorAm
We'll sail upon the seven seas, travel near and far
FF           C majorC          G+G        C majorC
take from the rich and give to the poor and say har har har har
