[Intro]
C G    C G   C G   C G C
[Verse]
I Cglimpsed her off the Gstarboard bow,
A Fsiren bold and CbrashG  
I Amshot a load acCross her deck,
She Fstruck a coloured Csash.G  
I Ccalled upon the Gcrewmen,
"A'Fvast boys we're in Cluck"G  
A Amgalley full of Clady pirates
Just a-Fwaiting to be...
[Chorus]
CSorry if I Gstabbed you with my Fcutlass,C  
  FI meant to Gpeg you 'tween the Clegs.
Let me Amexpress contEmrition at the Amstate of my nuCtrition,
I'm just a Gscurvy riddled Fpirate... on an aCpologetic Cbent.
[Verse]
Come Chither yon Gpirate bride
I'm Fnot all that you CfearedG  
AmLay your pettiCcoat aside
Let me Frest upon yore CbeardG  
I'm an Cold an weary Gtraveller
Layin' Fcourse by way of CstarsG  
WithAmout my trusty Csextant
I Fslipped right up her...
[Chorus]
CSorry if I'm Gthree sheets to the Fwind, lassC  
I Fcouldn't raise the Gmainsail up full Cmast
Let me Amexpress conEmtrition at the Amstate of my nuCtrition,
I'm just a Gscurvy riddled Fpirate... on an aCpologetic Cbent.
