We call no man our master, no lord and no king.

And this world is for those who can grab it, and hold it.
Dm C Dm
Possession's the law of the day.
G A
So we take what we want, we ain‘t bother with buyin'.
G A
We say what we mean, there ain't no point to lyin'.
Dm C F G
Don't like what we say, you might find yourself dyin'
Dm C Dm
In a manner too gruesome to say.
[Chorus]
Dm C
It's wonderful living the life of a pirate
Dm C Dm
With the freedom to take what we can
Dm C
And we'll sail the world over, searchin' for plunder
Dm C Dm
Not fearin' to face any man,
Dm C Dm
not fearin' to face any man.
[Verse 2]

When we come into town to spend all our spoils,

A good time will be had for all.

We'll all go to that pub and get drunk off our arses,

When we're there, there ain't no last call.

I'll get rum for meself and buy ale for me friends,

And a great deal of loot on the wenches I'll spend.

When the money's all gone it's off to sea again

Trade cargo for cannonball.

not fearin' to face any man.

Dm C
There's not one of us left who has not yet been blooded,

For killing's a part of our trade.

And the only thing standing between us and death
Dm C Dm
Is strength of arm, and speed of blade.

So we live every day like it might be our last

For all of us know that life is hard and fast
Dm C F G
We live for the moment, don't care 'bout the past
Dm C Dm
From this is our comradeship made.
[Chorus]

It's wonderful living the life of a pirate
Dm C Dm
With the freedom to take what we can

And we'll sail the world over, searchin' for plunder
Dm C Dm
Not fearin' to face any man,
Dm C Dm
not fearin' to face any man.
