[Intro]
Dm Gather weary traveller Gm Dm I have a tale to tell Gm It might just save your lives A But only if you listen well Dm Cause there before the breakers Gm A And just around the way A There's a sign A That says Beware
A Gm F E Dm (play variations of Dm moving up the fretboard)
The Beast of Pirate's Bay
[Verse 1]
Dm Some say he's a guppy Gm A kid threw in the sea Dm He ate so many sailors A Now he's bigger than a tree Dm His teeth as sharp as scissors Gm His claws they are like knives... A A And if you think he's ugly A A7 Dm Wait 'til you see his insides!
[Chorus]
Dm
Oh, don't you sailAnd don't you row
Gm And certainly don't you swim Dm Cause if you aren't careful A You'll end up inside of him Dm He'll eat you up, he'll spit you out Gm You better stay away A A Head the sign that says Beware A Gm F E Dm The Beast of Pirate's Bay
[Verse 2]
Dm Some say he's a serpent Gm That came straight from hell Dm To eat the souls of pirates A And other ne'er-do-wells Dm Some they don't believe it Gm As for me I've got a hunch... A 'Cause they used to have some pirates here A A7 Dm But he ate them all for lunch!
[Chorus]
Dm
Don't you sailAnd don't you row
Gm And certainly don't you swim Dm Cause if you aren't careful A You'll end up inside of him Dm He'll eat you up, he'll spit you out Gm You better stay away A A Head the sign that says Beware A Gm F E Dm The Beast of Pirate's Bay
[Verse 3]
Dm Well, Captain Hook, you've heard of him Gm He came to Pirate's Bay Dm Seems his little nemesis A Had nearly got away Dm He reached into the water Gm To grab at Peter Pan...
There was a crunch and a scream!
A A And now that scurvy captain's A A7 Dm Got hooks on both his hands!
[Chorus]
Dm
Oh, don't you sailAnd don't you row
Gm And certainly don't you swim Dm Cause if you aren't careful A You'll end up inside of him Dm He'll eat you up, he'll spit you out Gm You better stay away A A Head the sign that says Beware A Gm F E Dm The Beast of Pirate's Bay
[Verse 4]
Dm Well, Blackbeard the Pirate Gm You know for what he's feared Dm It's mostly for the dark, imposing A color of his beard Dm He saw the beast and now Gm Nobody's scared of him because... A A His beard turned white and all agree A A7 Dm He looks like Santa Claus
[Chorus]
Dm
Oh, don't you sailAnd don't you row
Gm And certainly don't you swim Dm Cause if you aren't careful A You'll end up inside of him Dm He'll eat you up, he'll spit you out Gm You better stay away A A Head the sign that says Beware A Gm F E Dm The Beast of Pirate's Bay
[Sad bit]
Dm Well, now the tavern's empty Gm Dm And there's only you and me Dm And if you care I'd like to share Gm A How this song came to be Dm So come a little closer Gm A If you really want to know A A This very sad and woeful tale A Gm F E Dm happened so long a-go... Dm Gm Dm Well, I was just a little boy when I went to Pirate's Bay Gm A And there I saw a creature that was very much dismayed Dm Gm A With a harpoon in his dorsal fin and a hook stuck in his side A A A Gm F E Dm This mighty whale was in such pain we both began to cry... Dm Dm I PUSHED and I shoved! Gm A But he wouldn't give way Dm Into the deeper waters Gm A Of our shallow Pirate's Bay Dm All I could do to help him Gm A Was to keep people away... A So I wrote a sign... A That said Beware... A Gm F E Dm The Beast of Pirate's Bay!
WHAT DID IT SAY?
Dm Don't you sail and don't you row Gm And certainly don't you swim Dm Gm A Cause if you aren't careful you'll end up inside of him Dm He'll eat you up, he'll spit you out Gm You better stay away A A HEED THE SIGN THAT SAYS BEWARE Bb HELL I SHOULD KNOW, I PUT IT THERE A A HEED THE SIGN THAT SAYS BEWARE A THE BEAST Gm OF F E PI-RATE'S Dm BAY!
