Dm              
Gather weary traveller

Gm               Dm
I have a tale to tell

Gm           
It might just save your life

         A
but only if you listen well

    Dm
for There before the breakers 

    Gm              A
and just around the way

A(strum once)
There's a sign

A(strum once)
That says beware

    A     Gm F E      Dm (play variations of dm moving up the fret Board)
THE BEAST OF PIRATE'S BAY

Dm
Some say he's a guppi

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!

Dm
Oh dont you sail 

Gm
certainly dont you swim

      Dm
cause if you aren't careful

           A
you'll end up inside of him

Dm
He'll eat you up and spit you out

Gm
You better stay away

A                  A
Head the sign that says beware

    A     Gm F  E    Dm
the beast of pirates bay

Dm
Well now the tavern's empty 

         Gm           Dm
and it'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 
Thi very sad and woefull tale 

  A      Gm F    E 
happened so long ago...

Dm                                  Gm               Dm
well i was just a little boy when i came to pirate's bay

    Gm                                A
and there i found a creature that was very much dismayed

       Dm                              Gm                 A
with a harpoon in his dorsel fin and a hook stuck in it's 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 wouldnt give way.

 Dm
Into the deeper waters

        Gm              A
off our shallow pirates 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 pirates bay!

Dm
dont you sail and dont you row

Gm
certainly dont you swim

Dm                                    Gm           A
cause if you arent careful you'll end up inside of him

Dm          
he'll eat you up he'll spit you out

you better stay away

A                  A
