Verse 1:
 
G#m                    B 
When the quest is over and the battles won 
          F# 
There's a land far to the south 
         E 
Where we go to have some fun 
G#m                               
The wenches they are plenty 
    B 
The alcohol is free 
    F# 
The party lasts all through the night 
        E 
And the alcohol is free

  G#m 
A pirates life is simple 
   B 
We drink and steal and kill 
F#                         
While we are questing 
   E 
In search for bigger thrills 
   G#m 
We sail across the oceans 
      B 
We're drunk in many bars 
    F# 
But when we sail to Mexico 
       E 
That's when we party hard
