Oh I [Em] come from the days of the pirate bay
When [Am] we would torrent and [Em] leech all day
My [Em] mum would say OK be safe
And [B] then I’d hear the [Em] fifty-six K
(Chorus
[C] Soon may the [G] ISP come to
[Am] bring us news of [Em] copyright scum
[C] One day when [G] downloadin’ is done
We’ll [B] take our leave and [Em] go)
Those were the days of piracy
Where any song or movie was free
The MP3s and MKVs but I always kept clear of the EXEs
Chorus
I loaded it all up on my old gateway
till my hard drive did decay
A bright blue screen lit my display
And all my haul had gone away

When [Am] we would torrent and [Em] leech all day
