[Verse 1]
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
I found him lying on a broken dock
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
In a drunken sleep about four o' clock in the morning
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
One leg good, the other one wood
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
His eye patched over just like it should I woke him.
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
C# Fm
I said, "Excuse me sir but might you be
D# Fm
Of Bartholomew Robert's piracy?"
G# D# Fm C# Fm
He asked what it was to me. I told him.
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
[Verse 2]
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
"I sir am an average Joe

F songsmith traveling to and fro

I'd like to talk to you before I go"
D# Fm
He said, "Me belly could use a bit of rum, you know."
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
I gave him the bottle and he turned to speak
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
His face was old his voice was weak
C# G#
He claimed to be the last of the crew's defeat
D# Fm
By a British Man Of War off Cape Lopez, he said
[Chorus]
C# G#
Roberts was a gentleman
D# Fm Fm Fm
Drank his tea from an old tin can
G# D# Fm C#
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
Fm D# Fm
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
[Verse 3]
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
He said, "Our ship was mighty as a sloop could be
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
Over four hundred vessels plundered we
C# Fm
With our sacks full of biscuits we'd return to the sea
D# Fm
Our jolly roger blowing proud and free
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
After Roberts robbed a vessel of it's prize
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
He'd return the ship to it's captain's sorry eyes
C# Fm
Never questioned any man's disguise
D# Fm
He followed the Sabbath as he followed the sky
[Chorus]
C# G#
Roberts was a gentleman
D# Fm Fm Fm
Drank his tea from an old tin can
G# D# Fm C#
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and

You'd never a guessed he was a pirate

[Verse 4]
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
I remember the day clear in me mind
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
We were scrubbing the hull for the very last time
C# Fm
When a British Man Of War attacked from behind
D# Fm
We were too drunk to fight we were to drunk to mind
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
I by chance swam under a pier and
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
escaped my fate through luck and fear.
C# Fm
Though Robert's wasn't drunk he was just too near
D# Fm
The thought of his death fill me eye with tear."
[Chorus]

Roberts was a gentleman
D# Fm Fm Fm
Drank his tea from an old tin can

[Verse 5]
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
I left the docks and headed on.
Fm Fm/G# G#maj9/C Fm11/C Fm11/D#
Put the pirates words in to a song.
C# Fm
Roberts may be dead but his story’s not gone
D# Fm
It's hard to believe he was a pirate
[Chorus]
C# G#
Roberts was a gentleman
D# Fm Fm Fm
Drank his tea from an old tin can
G# D# Fm C#
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
Fm D# Fm
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
