[Verse 1]
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
I found him lying on a broken dock
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
In a drunken sleep about four o' clock in the morning
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
One leg good, the other one wood
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
His eye patched over just like it should I woke him.
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
G Bm
I said, "Excuse me sir but might you be
A Bm
Of Bartholomew Robert's piracy?"
D A Bm G Bm
He asked what it was to me. I told him.
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
[Verse 2]
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
"I sir am an average Joe
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
B songsmith traveling to and fro
G Bm
I'd like to talk to you before I go"
A Bm
He said, "Me belly could use a bit of rum, you know."
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
I gave him the bottle and he turned to speak
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
His face was old his voice was weak
G D
He claimed to be the last of the crew's defeat
A Bm
By a British Man Of War off Cape Lopez, he said
[Chorus]
G D
Roberts was a gentleman
A Bm Bm Bm
Drank his tea from an old tin can
D A Bm G
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
Bm A Bm
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
[Verse 3]
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
He said, "Our ship was mighty as a sloop could be
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
Over four hundred vessels plundered we
G Bm
With our sacks full of biscuits we'd return to the sea
A Bm
Our jolly roger blowing proud and free
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
After Roberts robbed a vessel of it's prize
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
He'd return the ship to it's captain's sorry eyes
G Bm
Never questioned any man's disguise
A Bm
He followed the Sabbath as he followed the sky
[Chorus]
G D
Roberts was a gentleman
A Bm Bm Bm
Drank his tea from an old tin can
D A Bm G
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
Bm A Bm
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
[Verse 4]
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
I remember the day clear in me mind
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
We were scrubbing the hull for the very last time
G Bm
When a British Man Of War attacked from behind
A Bm
We were too drunk to fight we were to drunk to mind
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
I by chance swam under a pier and
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
escaped my fate through luck and fear.
G Bm
Though Robert's wasn't drunk he was just too near
A Bm
The thought of his death fill me eye with tear."
[Chorus]
G D
Roberts was a gentleman
A Bm Bm Bm
Drank his tea from an old tin can
D A Bm G
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
Bm A Bm
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
[Verse 5]
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
I left the docks and headed on.
Bm Bm/D Dmaj9/F# Bm11/F# Bm11/A
Put the pirates words in to a song.
G Bm
Roberts may be dead but his story’s not gone
A Bm
It's hard to believe he was a pirate
[Chorus]
G D
Roberts was a gentleman
A Bm Bm Bm
Drank his tea from an old tin can
D A Bm G
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
Bm A Bm
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
