The Privateers

By Andrew Bird

Key of D

[Intro]
A A A A
A7

[Verse]
D     F#m     Bm      Bm7
Don't sell me anything
              G           D
Your one time offer, so uncalled for
            A
You call it piece of mind

      D     F#m      Bm              Bm7
Cause I can see your house from here
G             D           A
  Now all the leaves have fallen, dear
      D          F#m           Bm        Bm7
I can see you're just a little privateer
G            A                  D    Dmaj7add4
  As your confession draws more near

[Interlude]
Bm         F#
  Time and again
           Bm                   F#
I find I'm listless, or rather, fistless
   Bm    A                 D    Dmaj7add4
In time, oh, that's what I find

   Bm          F#
So carry me to Mecca
     Bm             F#
With what you may divine
        Bm                G
Take me with you, take me with you
      A
Don't leave me behind

[Verse]
          D          F#m       Bm             Bm7
Oh 'cause I, I don't want your life insurance
G             D                  A
  Home, auto, health, flood, and fire insurance
         D            F#m             Bm        Bm7
Oh, just make, please make this basic inference
G              D         A
  And speak of me in the present tense

         D        F#m      Bm             Bm7
Oh cause I, I can see your ship from here
G         D           A
  Now the weather, so bright and clear
      D          F#m           Bm        Bm7
I can see you're just a little profiteer
G            A                  D    Dmaj7add4 Bm Bm7
  As your confession draws more near
G            A                  D    Dmaj7add4 Bm Bm7
  As your confession draws more near
G            A                  D
  As your confession draws more near
