[Verse 1]
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
I found him lying on a broken dock
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
In a drunken sleep about four o' clock in the morning
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
One leg good, the other one wood
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
His eye patched over just like it should I woke him.
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
D# Gm
I said, "Excuse me sir but might you be
F Gm
Of Bartholomew Robert's piracy?"
A# F Gm D# Gm
He asked what it was to me. I told him.
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
[Verse 2]
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
"I sir am an average Joe
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
G songsmith traveling to and fro
D# Gm
I'd like to talk to you before I go"
F Gm
He said, "Me belly could use a bit of rum, you know."
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
I gave him the bottle and he turned to speak
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
His face was old his voice was weak
D# A#
He claimed to be the last of the crew's defeat
F Gm
By a British Man Of War off Cape Lopez, he said
[Chorus]
D# A#
Roberts was a gentleman
F Gm Gm Gm
Drank his tea from an old tin can
A# F Gm D#
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
Gm F Gm
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
[Verse 3]
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
He said, "Our ship was mighty as a sloop could be
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
Over four hundred vessels plundered we
D# Gm
With our sacks full of biscuits we'd return to the sea
F Gm
Our jolly roger blowing proud and free
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
After Roberts robbed a vessel of it's prize
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
He'd return the ship to it's captain's sorry eyes
D# Gm
Never questioned any man's disguise
F Gm
He followed the Sabbath as he followed the sky
[Chorus]
D# A#
Roberts was a gentleman
F Gm Gm Gm
Drank his tea from an old tin can
A# F Gm D#
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
Gm F Gm
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
[Verse 4]
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
I remember the day clear in me mind
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
We were scrubbing the hull for the very last time
D# Gm
When a British Man Of War attacked from behind
F Gm
We were too drunk to fight we were to drunk to mind
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
I by chance swam under a pier and
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
escaped my fate through luck and fear.
D# Gm
Though Robert's wasn't drunk he was just too near
F Gm
The thought of his death fill me eye with tear."
[Chorus]
D# A#
Roberts was a gentleman
F Gm Gm Gm
Drank his tea from an old tin can
A# F Gm D#
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
Gm F Gm
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
[Verse 5]
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
I left the docks and headed on.
Gm Gm/A# A#maj9/D Gm11/D Gm11/F
Put the pirates words in to a song.
D# Gm
Roberts may be dead but his story’s not gone
F Gm
It's hard to believe he was a pirate
[Chorus]
D# A#
Roberts was a gentleman
F Gm Gm Gm
Drank his tea from an old tin can
A# F Gm D#
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
Gm F Gm
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
