[Intro]
C G F C G
[Verse 1]
CI felt the sand Gbeneath my toes
FIve sailed the waves and Ggiven up my CsoulG  
CI've made my name and Gplundered coasts
like a Fpirate G300 years aCgoG  
CIve buried hearts that were Gmade of gold
I've Fsunken ships from Ghere to MexicCoG  
CI've sang the songs GI've played the shows
Flike pirates did G300 years agCoG  
[Chorus]
FSometimes there's somethin in the wind
Gthat makes me feel like their my kin
with the Cdrifters and the Grebels I've found a Fhome
Fbut in the end they're gone like smoke
Gand then I'm left for broke
on an Cisland, Gstranded and Falone
Flike a pirate G300 years Cago
[Verse 2]
CIt's been so long I've Gbeen off course
I've got Fno compass that Gknows the way to CnorthG  
CSo here I am (here I am)
just Gchasin ghosts
Flike pirates did G300 years CagoG  
[Chorus]
FSometimes there's somethin in the wind
Gthat makes me feel like their my kin
Cwith the drifters and the Grebels I've found a Fhome
Fbut in the end they're gone like smoke
Gand then I'm left for broke
on an Cisland, Gstranded and Falone
Flike a pirate G300 years Cago
[Solo]
C G F C G
[Verse 3]
CI've felt the sand
Gbetween my toes
FI've sailed the waves and Ggiven up my CsoulG  
Cbut man I love
Gthis life I've chose
Flike pirates did G300 years Cago
