(Sad bit):
[Dm]Well now the tavern's empty
and it's [Gm]only you and [Dm]me.
and [Dm]if you care i'd like to share
how [Gm]this song came to [A]be
so [Dm]come a little closer
If you [Gm]really want to k[A]now.
Thi [A]very sad and [A]woefull tale
ha[A]ppened [Gm]so [F]long [E]ago...
[Dm]well i was just a little boy when i [Gm]came to pirate's [Dm]bay
and [Gm]there i found a creature that was [A]very much dismayed
with a [Dm]harpoon in his dorsel fin and a [Gm]hook stuck in it's [A]side
\this [A]mighty whale was [A]in such pain we [A]both [Gm]beg[F]an [E]to c[Dm]ry
I P[Dm]USHED and I s[Dm]hoved!
but [Gm]he wouldnt giv[A]e way.
I[Dm]nto the deeper waters
off our [Gm]shallow pirates [A]bay
all [Dm]i could do to help him
was to [Gm]keep people [A]away.
so i [A]wrote a sign
that [A]said beware
the [A]beast [Gm]of [F]pir[E]ates [Dm]bay!
[N.C.]WHAT DID IT SAY?
[Dm]dont you sail and dont you row
[Gm]certainly dont you swim
[Dm]cause if you arent careful you'll end [Gm]up inside of [A]him
[Dm]he'll eat you up he'll spit you out
[Gm]you better stay away
[A]HEED THE SIGN THAT [A]SAYS BEWARE
HELL [Bb]I SHOULD KNOW I PUT IT THERE
[A]HEED THE SIGN THAT [A]SAYS BEWARE
THE BE[A]AST
[Gm]OF
[F]PI-[E]RATE'S
[Dm]BAY!
 ending: [Dm] (strum) [A](hit once) [Dm](hit once)

The timing is the trouble with this, as with all voltaire songs. I think this is
accurate. if not correct it. but dont correct it into a different key cos thats just pedantic.
