[Intro]
C Gm7 C Gm7
[Verse 1]
C Gm7 C Gm7
"Henry! It's getting t'wards suppertime you know. Henry!"
C Gm7
There she calls
C Gm7
from her second floor room
C Eb F F7
The end of a back porch afternoon
Bb Am Bb C
Where we'd stand on the bow of our own man-of-war
Gm C
No longer the back porch any more
[Chorus]
F Dm Bb C F Dm Bb C
And we'd sail pulling for China
F Dm Bb
The pirates of Stone County Road
Am G G7 C
All weathered and blown
F Dm Bb C F Dm Bb C
And we'd sail ever in glory
Gm
'Till hungry and tired
F Bb Bb/A
The pirates of Stone County Road
Gm C
Were turning for home
[Verse 2]
Gm7 C
"Henry! You better be getting on up to bed now,
Gm7
don't ya know, Henry!"
C Gm7
There she calls
C Gm7
from her high wicker chair
C Eb F F7
As I climb to my room up the stairs
Bb Am
Where the wind through the shutters
Bb C
Sends the mainsail to fall
Gm C
From the shadow of the bedpost on the wall
[Chorus]
F Dm Bb C F Dm Bb C
And we'd sail pulling for China
F Dm Bb
The pirates of Stone County Road
Am G G7 C
All weathered and blown
F Dm Bb C F Dm Bb C
And we'd sail ever in glory
Gm
'Till hungry and tired
F Bb Bb/A
The pirates of Stone County Road
Gm C
Were turning for home
[Outro]
Gm7 C
"Henry! Can you hear me, Henry.
Gm7 C
Are you up there Henry? Henry!"
