(intro)
4x
G    D,


(verse)
       A                         G
Well I come from a little bitty, homegrown small town,
C                    D
Smoky Mountains, nice place to hang around.
A            G
  Moonshine, that's where they make it,
D
Put it in a jug, makes you wanna get naked.
      A                     G
But I jumped on a greyhound bus one night
    C                             D
And took it all the way to the end of the line.
        A                       G
Stepped out in the sun, when my feet hit the sand
       D
What a long strange trip


(chorus)
           A          G              D
I spent my whole life running around
              A          G        D
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
                 A         G
Well I dropped a note in a bottle
     D
To a long-legged model
      A                  G
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
  D
A pirate flag and an island girl


(instrumental)
2x
A  G   D,

[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/k/kenny_chesney/pirate_flag_crd.html ]
        A                            G
Well my friends back home think I've gone and lost my mind
       C                        D
Take a sip of rum and you really would know why
A                         G
Jolly Roger flying on the picnic table
D
Blender in the kitchen, willin' and able
      A                        G
Don't know what makes you say "What the hell"
             C                      D 
But when the salt air catches a hold of that sail
A                                 G
Something 'bout it makes her just wanna dance
        D
And she loves to dance


(chorus)
           A          G         D
I spent my whole life running around
              A          G             D
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
                 A         G
Well I dropped a note in a bottle
     D
To a long-legged model
      A                  G
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
  D
A pirate flag and an island girl


(instrumenta-bridge)
A
            (pirate flag and an island girl, island girl)
       C
Well I remember back home 'neath the big ol' moon
       D
Tucked back in the woods, yea life was good
    C                                       D
But here we are in a local bar and drinkin' shooting stars



(chorus-out)
           A          G              D
I spent my whole life running around
              A          G        D
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
                 A         G
Well I dropped a note in a bottle
     D
To a long-legged model
      A                  G
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
  D                              A G,
A pirate flag and an island girl
  D                              A G,
A pirate flag and an island girl
  D                              G  D, G
A pirate flag and an island girl
  D                              G  
A pirate flag and an island girl
  D                              G  D
A pirate flag and an island girl
