Thi very sad and woefull tale 
  A5      G5 F5    E5 
happened so long ago...
D5                                  G5               D5
well i was just a little boy when i came to pirate's bay
    G5                                A5
and there i found a creature that was very much dismayed
       D5                              G5                 A5
with a harpoon in his dorsel fin and a hook stuck in it's side
      A5                A5               A5    G5 F5  E5   D5
	his mighty whale was in such pain we both began to cry 
   D5           D5
I PUSHED and I shoved!
    G5            A5
but he wouldnt give way.
 D5
Into the deeper waters
        G5              A5
off our shallow pirates bay
    D5           
all i could do to help him
       G5          A5
was to keep people away.
     A5
so i wrote a sign 
     A5
that said beware
    A5     G5 F5  E5    D5
the beast of pirates bay!
