Intro: Bm A G Bm A G*
D Bm
v.1 The lake at night is still and black
A G
The water's smooth like polished glass
D Bm
You've heard the tales so it's time to go
A G
Gonna take you back into pirates cove
D Bm
v.2 Got a sure ol' 10 horse Evinrude
A G
And a 12 foot jon boat to carry the brew
D Bm
A couple of steaks and a big ol' knife
A G
My old ghost is comin' back to life
chorus:
A
You could say I know the way by heart
Bm G
Through the stumps and in the dark
A
There's one way in and that's by boat
Bm G
That'll get you back into pirates cove
v.3 A trail of smoke trails through the trees
Fire down low and there ain't no breeze
Just the cottonmouths and the copperheads
And for some strange reason I fit in (repeat chorus)
(instrumental)
v.4 Well it's a different world when you get back here
The dancin' shadows disappear
The memories they'll come and go
Someday I'll stay in pirates cove (repeat chorus)
(instrumental)
(chorus)
(instrumental).....fade
