[Verse 1]
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
I found him lying on a broken dock
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
In a drunken sleep about four o' clock in the morning
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
One leg good, the other one wood
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
His eye patched over just like it should I woke him.
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
D F#m
I said, "Excuse me sir but might you be
E F#m
Of Bartholomew Robert's piracy?"
A E F#m D F#m
He asked what it was to me. I told him.
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
[Verse 2]
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
"I sir am an average Joe
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
F# songsmith traveling to and fro
D F#m
I'd like to talk to you before I go"
E F#m
He said, "Me belly could use a bit of rum, you know."
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
I gave him the bottle and he turned to speak
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
His face was old his voice was weak
D A
He claimed to be the last of the crew's defeat
E F#m
By a British Man Of War off Cape Lopez, he said
[Chorus]
D A
Roberts was a gentleman
E F#m F#m F#m
Drank his tea from an old tin can
A E F#m D
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
F#m E F#m
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
[Verse 3]
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
He said, "Our ship was mighty as a sloop could be
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
Over four hundred vessels plundered we
D F#m
With our sacks full of biscuits we'd return to the sea
E F#m
Our jolly roger blowing proud and free
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
After Roberts robbed a vessel of it's prize
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
He'd return the ship to it's captain's sorry eyes
D F#m
Never questioned any man's disguise
E F#m
He followed the Sabbath as he followed the sky
[Chorus]
D A
Roberts was a gentleman
E F#m F#m F#m
Drank his tea from an old tin can
A E F#m D
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
F#m E F#m
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
[Verse 4]
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
I remember the day clear in me mind
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
We were scrubbing the hull for the very last time
D F#m
When a British Man Of War attacked from behind
E F#m
We were too drunk to fight we were to drunk to mind
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
I by chance swam under a pier and
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
escaped my fate through luck and fear.
D F#m
Though Robert's wasn't drunk he was just too near
E F#m
The thought of his death fill me eye with tear."
[Chorus]
D A
Roberts was a gentleman
E F#m F#m F#m
Drank his tea from an old tin can
A E F#m D
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
F#m E F#m
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
[Verse 5]
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
I left the docks and headed on.
F#m F#m/A Amaj9/C# F#m11/C# F#m11/E
Put the pirates words in to a song.
D F#m
Roberts may be dead but his story’s not gone
E F#m
It's hard to believe he was a pirate
[Chorus]
D A
Roberts was a gentleman
E F#m F#m F#m
Drank his tea from an old tin can
A E F#m D
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
F#m E F#m
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
