Pirates Chords by David Byrne C Cm A distant car, a quiet night A#m C G Like starin' at the ceiling C Cm My sleepy eyes, you smell so nice A#m C G It's such a funny feeling Am E Got no idea, what time it is Am A#m E Delightfully confusing Am A#m The trees outside, the morning light C E C Arrives, like pirates on parade C E C Surprise, it's pirates on parade A ray of light, between the blinds I lie there in a stupor I hear a thud, and then a flush Guess it must be the neighbors I blink my eyes, I laugh inside Imagine what they're saying I see your shape and through the night Here come, those pirates on parade Ahoy, it's pirates on parade Em Through the rough and stormy weather Bm On a search for buried treasure B Em There's an island to explore Em Ev'ry wave that whispers softly Bm "Stay in bed, 'cause it's still early" B Em Dolphins frolic by the shore C G C G D And the phone never rings when the pirates are singing Well there's 16 men on a dead man's chest In this hallucination The map we got, x marks the spot We're following directions The 7 seas, the balmy breeze The pleasure of surrender The end is nigh, the sun is high It's late, for pirates on parade Too late, for pirates on parade Traffic noises down below me A helicopter circles slowly Monsters sink into the deep Mountainous and downy billows Float among those fluffy pillows Maybe I'll go back to sleep And the phone never rings when the pirates are singing This wicked life So what's in store behind that velvet curtain? The night is gone And the day is here The stupid sun is shinin' The moon reflects Your hair's a mess It's lovely imperfections My crew and I The clear blue skies Sail on, with pirates on parade Sail on, you pirates on parade C E C Yo, Yo, Yo C E C Yo, Yo, Yo...
