The Pirate's Gospel - Alela Diane

While some folks row          [Verse] F#m F#m

Way up to heaven                      C#m C#m

I'm gonna sing - The pirate's gospel

I'm gonna sow  - These feet for dancin'

I'm gonna keep - My eyes wide open


Ohohoh, mmhmmh, mmhmmh - Mmhmmhmmh [Chorus]

(Yoho, yoho(…/ho)  - Yohoho x2)        (x4)

(Sing the pirate's - Gospel x1)


Add another flame        - To our forest

Where big-bellied whales - Keep us chanting

We're slapping fireflies - For tiny dancers

Where the children creep

Until the morning          [Intro & Chorus]

When the sun does seep     (F#m F#m C#m F#m x2)

Into our fair flesh         F#m F#m

Until the fingernails

Will take us home                  [Chorus]


While some folks pray - Their path to Jesus

We're gonna sing  - The pirate's gospel

we're gonna sow   - Our feet for dancing

we're gonna keep  - Our eyes wide open

We're gonna sing  - The pirate's gospel

We're gonna chant - The pirate's gospel

You'll find us clap

The pirate's gospel    [Chorus] (ho/…) (x2)
