[Verse 1]
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
I found him lying on a broken dock
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
In a drunken sleep about four o' clock in the morning
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
One leg good, the other one wood
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
His eye patched over just like it should I woke him.
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
F# A#m
I said, "Excuse me sir but might you be
G# A#m
Of Bartholomew Robert's piracy?"
C# G# A#m F# A#m
He asked what it was to me. I told him.
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
[Verse 2]
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
"I sir am an average Joe
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
A# songsmith traveling to and fro
F# A#m
I'd like to talk to you before I go"
G# A#m
He said, "Me belly could use a bit of rum, you know."
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
I gave him the bottle and he turned to speak
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
His face was old his voice was weak
F# C#
He claimed to be the last of the crew's defeat
G# A#m
By a British Man Of War off Cape Lopez, he said
[Chorus]
F# C#
Roberts was a gentleman
G# A#m A#m A#m
Drank his tea from an old tin can
C# G# A#m F#
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
A#m G# A#m
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
[Verse 3]
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
He said, "Our ship was mighty as a sloop could be
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
Over four hundred vessels plundered we
F# A#m
With our sacks full of biscuits we'd return to the sea
G# A#m
Our jolly roger blowing proud and free
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
After Roberts robbed a vessel of it's prize
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
He'd return the ship to it's captain's sorry eyes
F# A#m
Never questioned any man's disguise
G# A#m
He followed the Sabbath as he followed the sky
[Chorus]
F# C#
Roberts was a gentleman
G# A#m A#m A#m
Drank his tea from an old tin can
C# G# A#m F#
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
A#m G# A#m
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
[Verse 4]
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
I remember the day clear in me mind
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
We were scrubbing the hull for the very last time
F# A#m
When a British Man Of War attacked from behind
G# A#m
We were too drunk to fight we were to drunk to mind
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
I by chance swam under a pier and
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
escaped my fate through luck and fear.
F# A#m
Though Robert's wasn't drunk he was just too near
G# A#m
The thought of his death fill me eye with tear."
[Chorus]
F# C#
Roberts was a gentleman
G# A#m A#m A#m
Drank his tea from an old tin can
C# G# A#m F#
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
A#m G# A#m
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
[Verse 5]
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
I left the docks and headed on.
A#m A#m/C# C#maj9/F A#m11/F A#m11/G#
Put the pirates words in to a song.
F# A#m
Roberts may be dead but his story’s not gone
G# A#m
It's hard to believe he was a pirate
[Chorus]
F# C#
Roberts was a gentleman
G# A#m A#m A#m
Drank his tea from an old tin can
C# G# A#m F#
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
A#m G# A#m
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
