[Verse 1]
[C]A distant car, a quiet night
Like [Bbm]starin' at [Am]the ceiling[G]
[C]My sleepy eyes, you smell so nice
[Bbm]It's such a[G] funny feel
[Ebdim]ing[Baug][Bdim]
[G]Got

[Verse 2]
[Am]no idea, what ti[Em]me it is
De[C]lightfully con[Am]fus [G]ing
[Am]The trees outside, [C]the morning [Bbm]light
Ar[D]rives, like [G]pirates [F]on [C]parade

[Verse 3]
Sur[D]prise, it's [G]pirates on [C]parade
A ray of light, between the [C#dim]blinds
[Bbm]I lie there in a stup[Gdim]or[C][D][G]
I [C]hear a thud, and then a flush

[Verse 4]
Guess [C]it [Bbm]must be t[C]he n[Ebdim]eigh bors[D][Bm]
I [Am]blink my eyes, I [Em]laugh inside
[C]Imagine what they're say[Dm] ing[Ddim]
[Bdim]I see your[Am] shape
[Bbm]and through the night

[Verse 5]
Here [D]come, those [F]pirates on [C]parade
[D]Ahoy, it's [G]pirates [C]on parade
[Em]Through the rough and stormy weather
[Bm]On a search for buried treasure

[Verse 6]
[B]There's an island to ex[Em]plore
Every wave that whispers softly
[Bm]"Stay in bed,
'cause it's still [B]early"
Dolphins frolic by [Em]the shore

[Verse 7]
And the [Cm]phone never [G]rings when
the pir[Cm]ates [G]are singing[D]
Well [C]there's 16 men on
a dead man's [Cm]chest
In [Bbm]this hallucina[Am]tion[G]
[C]The map we got, x marks the spot
[Bbm]We're

[Verse 8]
follow[C#]ing [C]dire[F]c [G]tion[Bdim] s
[G]The[Am] 7 seas, the balm[Em]y breeze
[C]The pleasure of sur
[Fm]render[Ddim][Fdim]
[Abdim]The end is ni[Am]gh, the sun i[Bbm]s high

[Verse 9]
It's [D]late, for [G]pirates on [C]parade
Too [D]late, [G]for pirates on par[C]ade
[Em]Traffic noises down below me
A [Bm]helicopter circles slowly

[Verse 10]
[B]Monsters sink into the
[Em]deep
Mountainous and downy billows
[Bm]Float among those fluffy pillows
[B]Maybe I'll go back to [Em]sleep

[Verse 11]
And [C]the phone [G]nev[C]er [D]rin[G]gs when
the pir[D]ates [G]are singing[D]
This [C]wicked life
So [C#dim]what's in st[Bbm]ore behind
that velvet [C]cur[Am]tain?
[G]The[C] night is gone

[Verse 12]
And [C]the day is here
[Bbm]The stupid su[Cm]n is shinin[Abdim]'
[Am]The moon reflects
Your [Em]hair's a mess

[Verse 13]
It's [C]lovely [Ddim]imperfection[Abdim]s
My [Am]crew and I
[Bbm]The clear blue skies
Sail [D]on, [Ebdim]with pirates o[Bdim]n parade[Abdim][C]
Sail on, you [G]pirates on parade
