about

yeah, 4 chord song about pirates

lyrics

I once was a pirate, in a land far away. Chasing
legends of gold to the end of the day
But one day I found a man, drifting at sea. He said
“Sonny there’s more to life, just listen to me.

Have you ever found yourself, looking out
to the ocean, o’er the horizon
settled down with a wife and kids?
Trust me, there’s more to life; take heed to this.

I sailed the seven seas with this thought in mind.
Nonetheless I couldn’t leave all this behind.
My ship and my men, the gold and the breeze
Were something I couldn’t leave out here at sea.

But one day we landed on an island unknown
“Here, X marks the spot!” just as the map had shown.
“Captain there’s nothing….wait what do I see?”
They picked up a note and they read it to me; it said:

Have you ever found yourself, looking out
to the ocean, o’er the horizon
settling down with a wife and kids?
Trust me, there’s more to life; take heed to this

“All hands on deck!” I screamed to my men.
“North! We are bound for a port where we’ll land.
I’ve realized there’s more to life than sailing the seas;
A wife and children are waiting for me.”

Have you ever found yourself, looking out
to the ocean, o’er the horizon,
settled down with a wife and kids?
Trust me, there’s more to life; take heed to this.

So I found myself looking out
to the ocean and o’er the horizon,
sitting down for a nice cup of tea;
there with a family to share it with me.
