Tom : D
Em G
There's nothing more that a pirate loves best
D A
Than coming across a magnificent chest
Em G
But digging a hole's just the start o' the task
D A
The real quest is getting inside of the cask
Em G
Unsheathing your weapon to open the locks
D A
And finding the treasure inside of the box
Em G
In right stormy waters, through night and through day
D A
'Til the poop deck is covered with salty white spray
[Chorus 1]
C D
Woah-oh
Em
Ya don't want to end up shipwrecked
C D
Woah-oh
Em
I'm questing upon the poop deck
C D
Woah-oh
G Em
You'd be better off watching Star Trek
C D
Woah-oh
Em
Yer questing upon the poop deck
[Interlude]
Em G
D A (x2)
[Verse 2]
Em G
Sailing the Red Sea's a dangerous duty
D A
But there's more than one way to plunder a booty
Em G
Plunging your sword through a gaping axe wound
D A
You'd be better to wait until the new moon
Em G
If you are brave you can sail 'round the back
D A
By rowing your ship through a forbidden crack
Em G
By dropping your anchor in murkier waters
D A
You can be sure you'll have no sons or daughters
[Chorus 2]
C D
Woah-oh
Em
Ya don't want to end up shipwrecked
C D
Woah-oh
Em
Yer questing upon the poop deck
C D
Woah-oh
G Em
This song is a pain in the neck
C D
Woah-oh
Em
Yer questing upon the poop deck
[Interlude]
Em G
D A (x2)
[Outro]
C D
Woah-oh
Em
I don't want to end up shipwrecked
C D
Woah-oh
Em
I'm questing upon the poop deck
C D
Woah-oh
G Em
This song's not about anal sex
C D
Woah-oh
C D
Woah-oh
C D
Woah I'm questing upon the poop deck
