[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!"
