[Verse 1]
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
I found him lying on a broken dock
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
In a drunken sleep about four o' clock in the morning
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
One leg good, the other one wood
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
His eye patched over just like it should I woke him.
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
A C#m
I said, "Excuse me sir but might you be
B C#m
Of Bartholomew Robert's piracy?"
E B C#m A C#m
He asked what it was to me. I told him.
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
[Verse 2]
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
"I sir am an average Joe
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
C# songsmith traveling to and fro
A C#m
I'd like to talk to you before I go"
B C#m
He said, "Me belly could use a bit of rum, you know."
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
I gave him the bottle and he turned to speak
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
His face was old his voice was weak
A E
He claimed to be the last of the crew's defeat
B C#m
By a British Man Of War off Cape Lopez, he said
[Chorus]
A E
Roberts was a gentleman
B C#m C#m C#m
Drank his tea from an old tin can
E B C#m A
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
C#m B C#m
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
[Verse 3]
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
He said, "Our ship was mighty as a sloop could be
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
Over four hundred vessels plundered we
A C#m
With our sacks full of biscuits we'd return to the sea
B C#m
Our jolly roger blowing proud and free
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
After Roberts robbed a vessel of it's prize
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
He'd return the ship to it's captain's sorry eyes
A C#m
Never questioned any man's disguise
B C#m
He followed the Sabbath as he followed the sky
[Chorus]
A E
Roberts was a gentleman
B C#m C#m C#m
Drank his tea from an old tin can
E B C#m A
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
C#m B C#m
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
[Verse 4]
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
I remember the day clear in me mind
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
We were scrubbing the hull for the very last time
A C#m
When a British Man Of War attacked from behind
B C#m
We were too drunk to fight we were to drunk to mind
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
I by chance swam under a pier and
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
escaped my fate through luck and fear.
A C#m
Though Robert's wasn't drunk he was just too near
B C#m
The thought of his death fill me eye with tear."
[Chorus]
A E
Roberts was a gentleman
B C#m C#m C#m
Drank his tea from an old tin can
E B C#m A
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
C#m B C#m
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
[Verse 5]
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
I left the docks and headed on.
C#m C#m/E Emaj9/G# C#m11/G# C#m11/B
Put the pirates words in to a song.
A C#m
Roberts may be dead but his story’s not gone
B C#m
It's hard to believe he was a pirate
[Chorus]
A E
Roberts was a gentleman
B C#m C#m C#m
Drank his tea from an old tin can
E B C#m A
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
C#m B C#m
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
