National Talk Like A Pirate Day

Aadd9


[Verse]
Aadd9
This is my song, don't sing along
      D          E                    Aadd9
It's opinions disarrayed of might are drooped

And like good men, I am disabled
     D                  E                 Aadd9
From understanding what we are taught not to condemn


[Chorus]
       D               A               E
In the kingdoms of the well and of the sick
        D             A                E
And the hours that it took to think of this
        D                 A               E
And the road that got the best of you one day
               Aadd9
Can you see at all?


[Verse]
Aadd9
Somehow I knew this wasn't it
          D                 E           Aadd9
Somehow I knew that we will see this to fruition

They said I was a ditsy housewife
      D               E            Aadd9
And I have the crude opinions of unpracticed men


[Chorus]
      D               A              E
In my pajamas I still hold my record player
          D              A                E
There's a hockey game on the table by the chair
            D                 A       E
And when it rains your hair begins to curl
                  Aadd9
Come the winds of dawn

[Verse]
Aadd9
Without your eye patch and your parrot
     D                  E                    Aadd9
I've been informed it's national talk like a pirate day

Perhaps this singing is a refuge
     D             E           Aadd9
From other equal uncomfortable thoughts


[Chorus]
        D             A                     E
And you disregard the clock that's on the wall
       D              A            E
It's a wonder you can disregard at all
         D             A             E
You just try to find a softer way to fall
             Aadd9
Back into my arms


[Verse]
Aadd9
Now he thought he was a citizen
    D           E               Aadd9
But only in the vaguest sort of way

And we will take it to the people
        D                E            Aadd9
And the people will then take it all away


[Chorus]
         D              A                   E
With our pencils we are righteous and we're rough
        D                 A         E
And you wonder where your education starts
        D               A               E
And you wipe your nose upon your pretty sleeve
             Aadd9
And then you leave

[Verse]
Aadd9
I think we'd better call a cab
           D                   E                Aadd9
'Cause our thirst for this has made these keys no use

And I remember our last kiss
           D              E               Aadd9
And I'll remember all the others from now on


[Chorus]
         D                   A            E
Until it's time to sing this song over my grave
         D               A                E
Like the boy who just forgets the morning shave
       D                 A              E
Or the girl who gets the hound dog to behave
               Aadd9
I will sing to you
