[Verse 1]
F Bb C F
I wish I was a pirate ship wreck down in Mexico
Where the oceans turn to silver
Bb C F
And the beaches turn to gold
Bb C F
I'd make love to some señorita in that town
Bb C F
Then I'd get on my boat and I'd sail the ocean round
[Interlude]
F Bb C F
[Verse 2]
Bb C F
I wish I was a pirate out there under my own flag
Bb C F
Running for no reason and no reason to turn back
Bb C F
Salt and rum on my tongue, sails tattered and torn
Bb C F
Laughing in the devil's face, ridin' out a storm
[Chorus]
Gm F Bb
Ooooo, one of these days
F
Gonna get off these highways
Wake up in some bay
Gm F Bb
With the sunshine on my face
C
St. Christopher on a silver chain
Say a prayer, sail away
[Interlude]
F Bb C F (x4)
[Chorus]
Gm F Bb
Ooooo, one of these days
F
Gonna get off these highways
Wake up in some bay
Gm F Bb
With the sunshine on my face
C
St. Christopher on a silver chain
Say a prayer, sail away
[Verse 3]
F Bb C F
I wish I was a pirate on some ghost ship in the night
With nothing but the stars, the moon
Bb C F
And faith to be my guide
Bb C F
Steady as she goes, with my back to the wind
Bb C F
Then in a cloud of cannon smoke I'd disappear again
