   F#                             B      C#  F#
I wish I was a pirate ship wreck down in Mexico

Where the oceans turn to silver
         B      C#      F#
And the beaches turn to gold
                           B   C#       F#
I'd make love to some señorita in that town
                                 B       C#      F#
Then I'd get on my boat and I'd sail the ocean round

                                B        C#   F#
I wish I was a pirate out there under my own flag
                              B     C#      F#
Running for no reason and no reason to turn back
                            B       C#        F#
Salt and rum on my tongue, sails tattered and torn
                               B      C#   F#
Laughing in the devil's face, ridin' out a storm

Chorus:
G#m        F#        B
Ooooo, one of these days
      F#
Gonna get off these highways
Wake up in some bay
         G#m      F#     B
With the sunshine on my face
      C#
St. Christopher on a silver chain
Say a prayer, sail away - x2

I wish I was a pirate on some ghost
ship in the night
With nothin' but the stars, the moon,
and faith to be my guide
Steady as she goes, with my back to the wind
Then in a cloud of cannon smoke I'd disappear again
