About Yo Ho A Pirate’s Life For Me#
Yo Ho (A Pirate’s Life for Me) was written for Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean ride, which opened in 1967. George Bruns composed the music and Xavier Atencio wrote the lyrics, and the tune played through the attraction for decades before the film series carried it to a wider audience. This tab follows the ride version.
The melody has a rolling, sea-shanty swing and sits mostly in the upper-middle range of a 6-hole ocarina, from F up to a high D. Several phrases hold a single repeated note under the words, so the challenge is less about finger jumps and more about keeping an even rhythm while the melody stays put.
