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