Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “The Pirate of Penance” dari Joni Mitchell:

Bbm                                Cm
The pirate anchored on a Wednesday
Bbm                                  D
And why he came to port I wonder
                                Bbm
To see a lady so my friends say
       Dm7
She dances for the sailors
                                   Abm
In a smoky cabaret bar underground
                                        Bb
Down in a cellar in a harbour town
Bbm                                     Cm
I know he told her love was treasure
Bbm                                         D
And they would reap the fullest bounty
                                           Bbm
He only comes to port for pleasure
Dm7
So when the winds of morning
                                                           Abm
Blew the curtains in she woke and found he'd gone
                                         Bb
I saw his sails unfurling Thursday dawn
Bbm
The pirate he will sink you with a kiss

He'll steal your heart and sail away

THE DANCER:

Saturday early we met in the cove near the forest

PENANCE:
Gb
He'll leave you drowning in the flotsam Of a broken promise in the bay

THE DANCER:

(Dancing we wakened the dawn and the birds into chorus)

PENANCE:
Gbm
He came again to see her

Yes I think they told me it was Saturday

THE DANCER:

(Ask Penance Crane she was out in her garden she saw us)
