    Fm                               Ab 
I've sailed upon this cursed ship for nigh on 15 years 
   Eb                              Db 
In service of the king's decree, a naval privateer 
     Fm                                   Ab 
I've paid my dues in flesh and blood, and great was the reward 
    Eb                             Bbm 
But this is not the life for me, a fact I can't ignore

The king commands I wear a hat with corners numbered three

He says it is befitting of the rank bestowed on me 
    Fm                            Ab 
And when I lost my arm at sea, he sent forth a demand 
     Eb                                 Bbm 
That I should get a hook of steel where once I had a hand

I told him he could stick that hook 
       Db 
Right where the sun don't shine 
  Eb 
I stumbled to the nearest bar

And got real drunk on wine

Last summer I was summoned for an audience with my liege

But when he saw I came by horse, his highness was displeased

"Where is your mighty pirate ship? Why aren't you drinking rum?" 
     Eb                                   Bbm 
Twas at this point I finally snapped, and shot him with my gun
