Pirates

• C

 C              Cm 
A distant car, a quiet night 
     A#m            C      G 
Like starin' at the ceiling 
 C                  Cm 
My sleepy eyes, you smell so nice 
    A#m           C      G 
It's such a funny feeling 
Am                E 
Got no idea, what time it is 
Am             A#m E 
Delightfully confusing 
    Am                 A#m 
The trees outside, the morning light 
C             E              C 
Arrives, like pirates on parade 
C              E              C 
Surprise, it's pirates on parade 

A ray of light, between the blinds 
I lie there in a stupor 
I hear a thud, and then a flush 
Guess it must be the neighbors 
I blink my eyes, I laugh inside 
Imagine what they're saying 
I see your shape and through the night 
Here come, those pirates on parade 
Ahoy, it's pirates on parade 

Em                                        
Through the rough and stormy weather 
Bm 
On a search for buried treasure 
B                        Em 
There's an island to explore 
Em 
Ev'ry wave that whispers softly 
Bm 
"Stay in bed, 'cause it's still early" 
B                        Em 
Dolphins frolic by the shore 
        C           G              C           G    D 
And the phone never rings when the pirates are singing 

Well there's 16 men on a dead man's chest 
In this hallucination 
The map we got, x marks the spot 
We're following directions 
The 7 seas, the balmy breeze 
The pleasure of surrender 
The end is nigh, the sun is high 
It's late, for pirates on parade 
Too late, for pirates on parade 

Traffic noises down below me 
A helicopter circles slowly 
Monsters sink into the deep 
Mountainous and downy billows 
Float among those fluffy pillows 
Maybe I'll go back to sleep 
And the phone never rings when the pirates are singing 

This wicked life 

So what's in store behind that velvet curtain? 
The night is gone 
And the day is here 
The stupid sun is shinin' 
The moon reflects 
Your hair's a mess 
It's lovely imperfections 
My crew and I 
The clear blue skies 
Sail on, with pirates on parade 
Sail on, you pirates on parade 

C   E   C 
Yo, Yo, Yo 
C   E   C 
Yo, Yo, Yo...
