Pirate Chantey

[Verse]
  Dm
I once met a lass so fine.
        C
She was drunk on barley wine.
    Bb
I'd been to sea,
 
for months a-three.
  Dm
I knew I could make her mine.
        F
And the lass was past consent,
          C
So it was off with her we went.
       Bb
And we threw her in bed
 
and rested her head
       Dm
And we left, 'cause that's what gentlemen do.
 
[Chorus]
  Gm                     Dm
A woman has a right to a drink or two,
        A                   Dm
Without worrying about what you will do.
   Gm                   Dm
We say "Yo, ho!" but we don't say "ho,"
        A      Dm
'Cause "ho" is disrespectful, yo!
 
[Verse]
      Dm
There once was a girl from Leeds,
      C
Who I heard was good on her knees.
     Bb
So I docked my ship
 
for an overnight trip,
   Dm
To take care of all of my needs.
        F
She was fine as the tales did tell,
       C
And my mast began to swell!
     Bb
So I laid her down
 
and raised her gown,
    Dm
And performed cunnilingus for an hour or so.
 
[Chorus]
Gm                       Dm
Always take care of your lady fair.
       A                     Dm
'Cause they deserve as much attention down there
   Gm                   Dm
We say "Yo, ho!" but we don't say "ho,"
        A      Dm
'Cause "ho" is disrespectful, yo!
 
[Verse]
  Dm
I once had a woman so fair.
      C
Whose womb contained my heir.
       Bb
With a son by my side,
 
the seas we'd ride,
    Dm
The child she would bear.
       F
But my girl, she was no fool.
        C
She was working her way through school.
     Bb
So I did support
 
when she chose to abort,
        Dm
Because it's her body and therefore her choice.
 
[Chorus]
       Gm                            Dm
No, we don't say "booty" 'less we're talking about gold.
   A                              Dm
We don't look at chests 'less it, treasure holds.
       Gm                       Dm
With a hat and a feather and a cutlass on our hip,
        A                          Dm
We will never say "she" when we're talking 'bout a ship.
   Gm                       Dm
We don't say "bitch" and we don't say "whore,"
       A                                Dm
'Cause that language leads to things like body dysmorphia.
 
[Verse]
            Dm
There was a lady with a golden eye,
        C
And the doctor said she would die.
        Bb
So she emptied her purse
 
to lift the curse,
    Dm
And prayed to stay alive.
     F
She awoke the very next day,
     C
Hand in her grave she lay.
        Bb
But the scariest part
 
of the story from the start,
   Dm
Is I bet you assume the doctor was a man
 
[Chorus]
Gm        Dm
Women are doctors, too!
    A              Dm
And for a fraction of the doubloons.
   Gm                    Dm
We say "Yo, ho!" but we don't say "ho,"
        A      Dm
'Cause "ho" is disrespectful, yo!
            Dm
There was a slut with tits to here,
       C
And an ass that
 
'Cause it's "Yo, ho!" but we don't say "ho,"
        A      Dm
'Cause "ho" is disrespectful, yo!
