THE LAST SASKATCHEWAN PIRATE
Captain Tractor ACOUSTIC
VERSE 1
C F G C
Well I used to be a farmer, and I made a living fine.
F C G
I had a little stretch of land along the CP line.
C F G
But times went by and though I tried , the money wasn't
C
there,
F C G
and the bankers came and took my land and told me fair is fair.
PRECHORUS
Am D
I looked for every kind of job the answer always no,
Am G
Hire you now they always laughed we just let 20 go
Am D
The government they promised me a measly a little sum
Am G
But I've got too much pride to end up just another bum,
A Dm
Then I thought who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone,
D G
I'm gonna be a pirate, on the river Saskatchewan
CHORUS
C C F G C
And it's a heave ho coming down the plains
F C G
Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains
C C F G C
And it's a ho hey farmers bar your doors
F C G C
When you see the Jolly Rodger on Regina's mighty shores
F C G C
WHISTLING
VERSE 2 (no prechorus)
C F G C
Well you think the local farmers would know that I'm at large
F C G
But just the other day I found an unprotected barge
C F G C
I snuck up right behind them and they were none the wiser
F C G
I rammed the ship and sank it and stole the fertilizer.
C F G C
Bridge outside of Moose Jaw spans the mighty river
F C G
Farmers cross with so much fear their stomach are a-quiver,
C F G C
'Cause they know that Captain Tractor's hiding in the bay
F C G
I'll jump the bridge and knock 'em cold and sail off with their hayyyyy
