The Trip to Pirates Cove
By: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers


Intro: Em C


 Em     C
I took my few belongings,
  Em      C    Em   C Em C
We headed out to Pirate's Cove...
   Em     C
In my buddy's old Defender,
  Em      C    Em   C Em C
We ran until the gas got low...

    C        G    D             Em   C Em C
We were flying close to heaven, Everything was starting to glow...
Em      C    Em        C   Em   C Em C
Drivin' into sunset, Rollin' cause we had to roll...


Em       C
I think he was a preacher,
  Em       C    Em   C Em C
But lord I can't recall his name...
    Em       C
He was running out of wind,
   Em      C     Em  C Em C
But talking to me just the same.
    C        G    D               Em  C Em C
He said five 'll get you ten, But boy you've got to stay in the game.
     Em      C        Em      C    Em    C Em C
Yeah you got to let it ride, Or you've only got yourself to blame...

     Em       C
We lost a wheel in Santa Cruz,
   Em        C   Em   C Em C
So we partied with some motel maids...
  Em         C      Em
My friend said I don't like mine...
  C         Em   C Em C
So what do you say we trade?
     C      G    D              Em   C Em C
She was a part of my heart,  Now she's just a line in my face...
      Em    C
They let us go with a warning;
      Em        C      C    C Em C
Said "We'd book you, but we don't have a case..."

  Em          C
My friend said take her with you,
  Em          C  Em    C Em C
To leave her here would be a crime...
       Em     C
But let's get outta Santa Cruz,
   Em    C    Em   C Em C
All I got is a Canadian dime.

    C       G
I got a friend in Mendocino,
     D            Em  C Em C
And it's gettin' close to harvest time.
      Em  C
And she was kinda cute...
Em     C    Em    C Em C
If a little past her prime...

    Em        C    Em C
On the trip to Pirate's Cove...
    Em        C    Em C
On the trip to Pirate's Cove...

Em      C     Em C
Drivin' into sunset...
Em      C     Em C
Drivin' into sunset...
