[Verse 1]
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
I found him lying on a broken dock
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
In a drunken sleep about four o' clock in the morning
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
One leg good, the other one wood
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
His eye patched over just like it should I woke him.
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
A# Dm
I said, "Excuse me sir but might you be
C Dm
Of Bartholomew Robert's piracy?"
F C Dm A# Dm
He asked what it was to me. I told him.
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
[Verse 2]
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
"I sir am an average Joe
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
D songsmith traveling to and fro
A# Dm
I'd like to talk to you before I go"
C Dm
He said, "Me belly could use a bit of rum, you know."
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
I gave him the bottle and he turned to speak
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
His face was old his voice was weak
A# F
He claimed to be the last of the crew's defeat
C Dm
By a British Man Of War off Cape Lopez, he said
[Chorus]
A# F
Roberts was a gentleman
C Dm Dm Dm
Drank his tea from an old tin can
F C Dm A#
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
Dm C Dm
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
[Verse 3]
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
He said, "Our ship was mighty as a sloop could be
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
Over four hundred vessels plundered we
A# Dm
With our sacks full of biscuits we'd return to the sea
C Dm
Our jolly roger blowing proud and free
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
After Roberts robbed a vessel of it's prize
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
He'd return the ship to it's captain's sorry eyes
A# Dm
Never questioned any man's disguise
C Dm
He followed the Sabbath as he followed the sky
[Chorus]
A# F
Roberts was a gentleman
C Dm Dm Dm
Drank his tea from an old tin can
F C Dm A#
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
Dm C Dm
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
[Verse 4]
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
I remember the day clear in me mind
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
We were scrubbing the hull for the very last time
A# Dm
When a British Man Of War attacked from behind
C Dm
We were too drunk to fight we were to drunk to mind
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
I by chance swam under a pier and
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
escaped my fate through luck and fear.
A# Dm
Though Robert's wasn't drunk he was just too near
C Dm
The thought of his death fill me eye with tear."
[Chorus]
A# F
Roberts was a gentleman
C Dm Dm Dm
Drank his tea from an old tin can
F C Dm A#
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
Dm C Dm
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
[Verse 5]
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
I left the docks and headed on.
Dm Dm/F Fmaj9/A Dm11/A Dm11/C
Put the pirates words in to a song.
A# Dm
Roberts may be dead but his story’s not gone
C Dm
It's hard to believe he was a pirate
[Chorus]
A# F
Roberts was a gentleman
C Dm Dm Dm
Drank his tea from an old tin can
F C Dm A#
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
Dm C Dm
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
