CRANE:\r\n[tab][ch]Bbm[/ch]                       [ch]Cm[/ch]\r\nThe pirate anchored on a Wednesday[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bbm[/ch]                       [ch]D[/ch]\r\nAnd why he came to port I wonder[/tab]\r\n[tab]                     [ch]Bbm[/ch]\r\nTo see a lady so my friends say[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]Dm7[/ch]\r\nShe dances for the sailors[/tab]\r\n[tab]                        [ch]Abm[/ch]\r\nIn a smoky cabaret bar underground[/tab]\r\n[tab]                          [ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nDown in a cellar in a harbour town[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bbm[/ch]

[ch]Bbm[/ch]\r\nHe only comes to port for pleasure[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Dm7[/ch]\r\nSo when the winds of morning[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                         [ch]Abm[/ch]\r\nBlew the curtains in she woke and found he'd gone[/tab]\r\n[tab]                              [ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nI saw his sails unfurling Thursday dawn[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Bbm[/ch]\r\nThe pirate he will sink you with a kiss[/tab]\r\n\r\nHe'll steal your heart and sail away\r\n\r\n\r\nTHE DANCER:\r\n\r\nSaturday early we met in the cove near the forest\r\n\r\n\r\nPENANCE:\r\n[tab] [ch]Gb[/ch]\r\nHe'll leave you
