Intro: Bm   A   G   Bm   A   G  
 
     D                                             Bm 
  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 
 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 
 
 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   
 
  
 
 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
