The Last Saskatchewan Pirate by Arrogant Worms Alright...Since the only tab I found on here was the wrong key, this is my own tab. I played this at my family reunion not long ago, and my cousins sang it along with me. uncle brought his acoustic also, so I taught him the chords so he could play along. Later he asked me for the chords, and the only page I could link him to on here was in wrong key... So here you go, man. =================================================== The Last Saskatchewan Pirate by The Arrogant Worms =================================================== 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 C But times went by and though I tried the money wasn't there F C G C And bankers came and took my land and told me "Fair is Fair" Am D I looked for every kind of job the answer always "No", Am G "Hire you now" they'd always laugh, "We just let Twenty go!" (Haha) Am D The government, they promised me a measley little sum, Am G But I've got too much pride to end up just another bum! F F C Then I thought who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone, G I'm gonna be a pirate, on the river Saskatchewan! Chorus: (Mute) C (Mute) C F G C And it's a Heave (HO) High (HO) Comin' down the plains, F C G Stealin' Wheat and Barley and all the other grains, (Mute) C (Mute) C F G C And it's a Ho (HEY!) High (HEY!) Farmers bar yer doors, F C G C When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores. (Repeat the first half of the chorus without lyrics once, then play C for two measures.) 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 C I rammed the ship and sank it and I stole the Fertilizer Am D A Bridge outside of Moosejaw spans the mighty river, Am G Farmers cross in so much fear their stomach's are a quiver, Am D 'Cause they know that Captain Tractor's hiding in the bay, Am G I'll jump the bridge and knock em cold and sail off with their Hay! Chorus: (Mute) C (Mute) C F G C And it's a Heave (HO) High (HO) Comin' down the plains, F C G Stealin' Wheat and Barley and all the other grains, (Mute) C (Mute) C F G C And it's a Ho (HEY!)

C F G C Well Mountie Bob he chased me he was always at my throat, F C G He followed on the shorelines 'cause he didn't own a boat, C F G C But cut-backs were a comin' and the Mountie lost his job, F C G C So now he's sailin' with me and we call him Salty Bob! Am D A Swingin' Sword and Skull and Bones are pleasant company, Am G (Mute) I never pay my Income Tax and screw the GST (SCREW IT!) Am D Salin' down to Saskatoon, the Terror of the Sea, Am G If you wanna reach the Co-op boy you gotta get by me!

C F G C Well pirate life's appealing but you don't just find it here, F C B I hear in North Alberta there's a band of buccaneers, C F G C They roam the Athabasca from Smith to Port McKay, F C G C And you're gonna lose your stetson if you have to pass their way. Am D Well Winter is a comin' and a chill is in the breeze, Am G My pirate days are over once the river starts to freeze, Am D But I'll be back in Spring time but now I have to go, Am G I hear there's lots of plundering down in New Mexico!
