[D] You [Am] roared into [B] the driveway [Em] of [G] our Southwestern [Am] Ranch-style house
On [D] a [E] new [B] Kawasaki,
[D] [G] all [A] yellow and black, fresh [D] out of the showroom
[B] [F#]
[G] Our house [Am] faced west, so [D] the big [B] orange sun [G] positioned [A] at your back
[G] Lit up your magnificent [A]
silhouette, [D] how much better, how much better [Gm] could my life get?
[D] 900 cubic centimeters [A] of raw whining [D] power, no outstanding warrants for my [G]
arrest
[D] Whoa, whoa, [A] whoa, whoa, the [D] pirate's life for me

[D] You were [Am] sweet [B] and delicious [A] as [G] the [A] warm desert air
[G] And you pointed your [A] headlamp toward the horizon
[D] We were the one thing in the galaxy [G] God didn't have his eyes [D] on
900 [A] cc's of raw whining power, [D] no outstanding warrants for [G] my arrest
Hi diddle [D] dee dee, [A] god damn, the [D] pirate's life for me
