When I was just a lad looking for my true vocation 
   B                G                F#m             D
My father said "Now son, this choice deserves deliberation 
       B                Em      D         F#m  G
Though you could be a doctor or perhaps a financier 
   C                           D           B
My boy why not consider a more challenging career 

Bm  Em
Hey ho ho 
Em               F#m     G       
You'll cruise to foreign shores 
G                             D             C              G         
And you'll keep your mind and body sound by working out of doors 
     A                                 E
True friendship and adventure are what we can't live without 
    Am               Bm          C           G        D     G
And when you're a professional pirate that's what the job's about
B            Em
Upstage lads, this is my only number
F#m          G                              D
Now take Sir Francis Drake, the Spanish all despise him 
           G                            D
But to the British he's a hero and they idolize him 
             E       Em              D                 G
It's how you look at buccaneers that makes them bad or good 
    G                        D            G
And I see us as members of a noble brotherhood 
D   Em
Hey ho ho 
      F#m       G
We're honorable men 
                       D                               G
And before we lose our tempers we will always count to ten 
   Am                                Em
On occasion there may be someone you have to execute 
    Am          Bm           C
But when your a professional pirate 
C                  G          B  Em
You don't have to wear a suit..... what? 
F Em
I could have been a surgeon 
Em
I like taking things apart 
Em 
I could have been a lawyer 
      Am
But I just had too much heart 
  G                  Am
I could have been in politics 
Am         Bm                C
Cause I've always been a big spender 
    C    D                             Am E
And me...I could have been a contender 
G                                                    D
Some say that pirates steal and should be feared and hated 
B/Bb                   C              A         D        
I say we're victims of bad press it's all exaggerated 
Ebm                               F#m              G            
We'd never stab you in the back, we'd never lie or cheat 
      C              G                 D            G
We're just about the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet
