[Intro]
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G (x4)
(Simple fingerpicking while walking down the two base strings.
Hammer the G at the end of the sequence when changing from
the Am11/E to the Am11/G.)

[Verse 1]

Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
I found him lying on a broken dock
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
In a drunken sleep about four o' clock in the morning
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G

Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
One leg good, the other one wood
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
His eye patched over just like it should I woke him.
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G

F Am
I said, "Excuse me sir but might you be
G Am
Of Bartholomew Robert's piracy?"
C G Am F Am
He asked what it was to me. I told him.
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G

[Verse 2]

Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
"I sir am an average Joe
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
A songsmith traveling to and fro
F Am
I'd like to talk to you before I go"
G Am
He said, "Me belly could use a bit of rum, you know."
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G

Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
I gave him the bottle and he turned to speak
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
His face was old his voice was weak
F C
He claimed to be the last of the crew's defeat
G Am
By a British Man Of War off Cape Lopez, he said

[Chorus]

F C
Roberts was a gentleman
G Am Am Am
Drank his tea from an old tin can
C G Am F
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
Am G Am
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G

[Verse 3]

Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
He said, "Our ship was mighty as a sloop could be
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
Over four hundred vessels plundered we
F Am
With our sacks full of biscuits we'd return to the sea
G Am
Our jolly roger blowing proud and free
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G

Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
After Roberts robbed a vessel of it's prize
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
He'd return the ship to it's captain's sorry eyes
F Am
Never questioned any man's disguise
G Am
He followed the Sabbath as he followed the sky

[Chorus]

F C
Roberts was a gentleman
G Am Am Am
Drank his tea from an old tin can
C G Am F
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
Am G Am
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G

[Verse 4]

Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
I remember the day clear in me mind
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
We were scrubbing the hull for the very last time
F Am
When a British Man Of War attacked from behind
G Am
We were too drunk to fight we were to drunk to mind
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G

Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
I by chance swam under a pier and
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
escaped my fate through luck and fear.
F Am
Though Robert's wasn't drunk he was just too near
G Am
The thought of his death fill me eye with tear."

[Chorus]

F C
Roberts was a gentleman
G Am Am Am
Drank his tea from an old tin can
C G Am F
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
Am G Am
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G

[Verse 5]

Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
I left the docks and headed on.
Am Am/C Cmaj9/E Am11/E Am11/G
Put the pirates words in to a song.
F Am
Roberts may be dead but his story’s not gone
G Am
It's hard to believe he was a pirate

[Chorus]

F C
Roberts was a gentleman
G Am Am Am
Drank his tea from an old tin can
C G Am F
Never touched a bottle kept a clean ship and
Am G Am
You'd never a guessed he was a pirate
