Intro: E A E B

       E
If you want to be a pirate,
       A
Get up on your feet.
    E
You can't be a pirate,
          B
If you're sitting in your seat.
           E
Swing your arms tough,
    B
And stand kind of low,
                        E
And make this noise wherever you go.


B
Arrr! Arrr! Arrr!
                                   E
A pirate, a pirate, a pirate says "Arrr!"
   A
It might seem strange, just a bit bizarre,
         B
But they know you're a pirate,
                        E
When they hear you say "Arrr!"


B
Arrr! Arrr! Arrr!
                                   E
A pirate, a pirate, a pirate says "Arrr!"
    A
You wear a spare part, a bandana and a scar,
         B
and they know you're a pirate,
                        E
When they hear you say "Arrr!"


                       A
The Jolly Roger is the pirate flag,
  E                         B
A skull and some bones on a big black rag.
      E                   B
We'll fly it on our ship, up above the sails,

And we'll search for treasure,
       E
And be tough as nails!


B
Arrr! Arrr! Arrr!
                                   E
A pirate, a pirate, a pirate says "Arrr!"
       A
If you think we're noisy, you're right, we are,
            B
'cause they know you're a pirate,
                        E
