[Verse 1]
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
I found him lying on a broken dock
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
In a drunken sleep about four o' clock in the morning
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
One leg good, the other one wood
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
His eye patched over just like it should I woke him.
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
E G#m
I said, "Excuse me sir but might you be
F# G#m
Of Bartholomew Robert's piracy?"
B F# G#m E G#m
He asked what it was to me. I told him.
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
[Verse 2]
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
"I sir am an average Joe
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
G# songsmith traveling to and fro
E G#m
I'd like to talk to you before I go"
F# G#m
He said, "Me belly could use a bit of rum, you know."
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
I gave him the bottle and he turned to speak
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
His face was old his voice was weak
E B
He claimed to be the last of the crew's defeat
F# G#m
By a British Man Of War off Cape Lopez, he said
[Chorus]
E B
Roberts was a gentleman
F# G#m G#m G#m
Drank his tea from an old tin can
B F# G#m E
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
G#m F# G#m
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
[Verse 3]
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
He said, "Our ship was mighty as a sloop could be
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
Over four hundred vessels plundered we
E G#m
With our sacks full of biscuits we'd return to the sea
F# G#m
Our jolly roger blowing proud and free
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
After Roberts robbed a vessel of it's prize
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
He'd return the ship to it's captain's sorry eyes
E G#m
Never questioned any man's disguise
F# G#m
He followed the Sabbath as he followed the sky
[Chorus]
E B
Roberts was a gentleman
F# G#m G#m G#m
Drank his tea from an old tin can
B F# G#m E
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
G#m F# G#m
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
[Verse 4]
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
I remember the day clear in me mind
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
We were scrubbing the hull for the very last time
E G#m
When a British Man Of War attacked from behind
F# G#m
We were too drunk to fight we were to drunk to mind
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
I by chance swam under a pier and
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
escaped my fate through luck and fear.
E G#m
Though Robert's wasn't drunk he was just too near
F# G#m
The thought of his death fill me eye with tear."
[Chorus]
E B
Roberts was a gentleman
F# G#m G#m G#m
Drank his tea from an old tin can
B F# G#m E
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
G#m F# G#m
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
[Verse 5]
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
I left the docks and headed on.
G#m G#m/B Bmaj9/D# G#m11/D# G#m11/F#
Put the pirates words in to a song.
E G#m
Roberts may be dead but his story’s not gone
F# G#m
It's hard to believe he was a pirate
[Chorus]
E B
Roberts was a gentleman
F# G#m G#m G#m
Drank his tea from an old tin can
B F# G#m E
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
G#m F# G#m
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
