Em                       C    D  Em
I am not a pirate, but I long to be,
C              G                D     Em
Sailing by the stars across the seven seas,
Em                               C     D   Em
Living with no earthly cares, my mates and me—
    Em          G                    D    Em
The envy of all worldly men, who are not free.

Em                             C               Em
A song to sing for beggars, a song to sing for saints,
  C                 G                                   Em
A song to sing for wealthy men all wrapped and bound in chains!
    Em                           D    Em 
Our treasure's not in gold, or in our piety.
    C               G                                 Em
Our wealth is in an answered call, the longing of the sea!

Em
Stormy oceans carry us to lands we've never known,
C                 G                               Em
To mysteries and buried secrets from the tales of old.
Em                                    E                  Em
So hoist the sail and raise the flag, we do not stop for night.
      C             G                                   Em
We'll ride the wild winds and waves until the morning's light!

In smuggler's caves and tavern halls, we live by no man's rules.
   Cm        G                             Em
We fly the colors of the living, free and proud and true!
    Em                            E     Em
We set out on the ocean blue to escape tyranny.
   E                  G                Em
We'll keep our merry hearts alive so long we roam the sea.

A man once walked along the shore, and called he out to me,
   Cm              G                       Em
"I see you are a fisherman, a lover of the sea.
  Em                                      D                Em
I know this world's a wretched place, but if you'll follow me
     C                 G              G               Em
I'll take all of your burdens... and pirates we shall be!"

Em     Em
Yo ho, yo ho!

Yo ho, yo ho!

Hope is now before us, and misery at aft.
C                      G                                 Em
We could not care the lesser for the men who say, "You're daft!"
    Em                               D                Em
So let the howling winds blow in and take hold of the mast.
            C           G                                 Em
Release the wheel and all your sins, for you are free at last!

Em
"Swab the deck, my clever lad, and listen close to me.
C                  G               D                Em
Learn my ways, and soon one day a captain you shall be.
Em                                     
Climb the rigging, mount the nest, and say, what can you see?"
   C               G                    D               Em
"A fleet upon the starboard side... in battle we shall meet!"

Em                
"Load the cannons, raise the flag, and take hold of your heart!
  C             G                                D
A proper man of courage does not flee before the start.
       D                                              Em
Do not fear when death is near, when doom is night at hand.
      C              G             D              Em
Your end marks the beginning of a life in fairer lands!"

    Em                        E           Em
All day the battle rages, and on into the night.
      C                  G                     D         Em
With clashing swords and pistol shots, upon the decks we fight!
   Em                    E                                 Em
We match our wits and cannonballs with the finest of their fleet.
       C                 G             D            Em
Their admiral walks the plank in the shame of his defeat.

   Em                C                   D         Em
So raise a drink to plunder, and lift a toast for spoils.
 C                   G                        Em
Cheer good men - in bravery, the enemy we've foiled!
Em                             C      D       Em
Pour another round and we will sing a song of joy.
     C                G                             Em
When next we make our port the folk will say, “Victors—ahoy!"

We moor upon an isle of wealthy fools and knaves
    C                     G                                  Em
Who drink all night and sleep all day on the labor of their slaves.
Em                            
When the sun has set, we break off all their chains
    C                   G                                  Em
And share with them our plunder, and now free men they are made!

   Em                                 D           Em
We hole up in the tavern with our new crewmen and mates.
C                     G                             Em
Soon those rich folks come a calling for their run aways!
     Em                              
The barman sends them off with ale, saying, "Go, drink your sway!"
     C                  G                               Em
But when the rest have gone, one aging wealthy man does stay.

Em                         C     D       Em
"I was once a young lad, sailing by the charts.
   C       G                                    Em
I did not savor wind, nor water, nor admire the stars.
Em                                  C               Em
Now I have grown old and frail, and do not journey far.
  C             G                                 Em
I only long to sail the seas once more to find my heart."

Em                                                       Em
Well, come aboard and voyage long, we make for unmapped shores.
C               G                                      Em
Ride the stormy seas with us, you'll find that soul of yourn.
 Em                                C    D      Em
Leave your wealth behind you, and your bitter scorn.
 C                   G                  G              Em           
Make your home with slaves and sinners—then you'll be reborn.

Yo ho, yo ho!
