tab=Last Saskatchewan Pirate 
Arrogant Worms

Okay, here’s the deal with this thing. I looked at the Last Saskatchewan Pirate thing on the
Site already, and thought I could make it easier. So here it is

Verse

               G      	C	D	G
Well I used to be a farmer and I made a living fine

     C	Em	D
I had a little stretch of land along the Cp line

G	C	D	G
But times were tough and though I tried the money wasn’t there 

	C	Em	D
And the bankers came and took my land and told me fair is fair

Bridge
     Em	Am
I looked for every kind of job , the answer always no

    Em	D
Hire you now, they’d always laugh, we just let 20 go

Em	Am
The government, they promised me a measly little sum

Em	D
But I’ve got too much pride to end up just another bum

C	Em   Am
Then I thought who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone

D
I’m gonna be a pirate

D
on the River Saskatchewan

Chorus

	G		D
And it’s a hee (Ho)! Hi (Ho!) 

C	Em	D
Comin down the plains

C	Em		D
Stealin wheat and barley and all the other grains

	G	D
And it’s a Ho (Hey)! Hi (Hey)! 

C	Em	D
Farmers bar your doors

	Em		C	D	G
When you see the jolly roger on regina’s mighty shores

Repeat in order
Skip last three lines of the above bridge when playing the below bridges
Verse
Well mountie bob he chased me, he was always at my throat
He followed on the shoreline cause he didn’t own a boat
But cutbacks were a comin and the mountie lost his job
So now he’s sailin with us and we call him salty bob

Bridge
A swingin sword, a skull and bones and pleasant company
I never pay my income tax and screw the GST
Prince albert down to saskatoon, the terror of the sea
If you want to reach the co-op boy, you gotta get by me

Chorus

Verse
Well pirate life’s appealin, but you just don’t find it here
But I heard that in Alberta there’s a band of buccaneers
They roam the Athabaska from Smith to fort McKay
And you’re gonna lose you seltson if you have to pass their way

Bridge
Well winter is a comin and the chill is in the breeze
My pirate days are over once the river starts to freeze
I’ll be back in springtime but now I have to go
I hear there’s lots of plunderin down in New Mexico
