Son of a Son of a Sailor Jimmy Buffett
[Intro]
[G] [G] [F] [C] [G]
[G] [G] [F] [C] [G]
As the [G]son of a son of a sailor
I went [C]out on the sea for adv[G]enture
Ex[C]panding the view of the capt[G]ain and crew
like a [D]man just released from in[G]dentured
As a [G]dreamer of dreams and a travelin' man
I have [C]chalked up many a [G]mile.
Read [C]dozens of books about [G]heroes and crooks
and I [D]learned much from both of their st[G]yles.
[Cborus]
[F]Son of a son, [C]Son of a son
Son of a son of a [G]sailor
[F]Son of a gun, [C]Load the last ton
One step ahead of the [G]jailor
Now [G]way in the near future,
[C]Southeast of dis[G]order
You can [C]shake the hand of the man[G]go man
As he [D]greets you at the [G]border
And the [G]lady she hails from Trinidad,
[C]Island of the [G]spices
[C]Salt for your meat, and [G]cinnamon sweet
And the [D]rum is for all your good [G]vices.
[BRIDGE]
[F]Haul the sheet in as we [C]ride on the wind
That our fore-fathers harnessed be[G]fore us
[F]Hear the bells ring as the [C]tide rigging sings
It's a son of a gun of a [G]chorus
[Break]
[F] [C] [C] [G]
[F] [C] [C] [G]
[G]Now where it all ends, I can't fathom my friends
If I [C]knew I might toss out my [G]anchor
So I'll [C]cruise along always searchin[G]g for songs
Not a [D]lawyer, a thief or a [G]banker
[Cborus]
[F]But a Son of a[C] son, Son of a son
Son of a son of a [G]sailor
[F]Son of a gun, [C]Load the last ton
One step ahead of the [G]jailor
[Cborus]
[F]But a Son of a[C] son, Son of a son
Son of a son of a [G]sailor
[F]Son of a gun, [C]Load the last ton
One step ahead of the [G]jailor
[Cborus]
[F]I'm just a son of a son, [C]son of a son
Son of a son of a [G]sailor
The [F]sea's in my veins, my tra[C]dition remains
I'm just glad I don't live in a [G]trailer
[Outro]
[F] [C] [C] [G]
[F] [C] [C] [G]
[F] [C] [C] [G]
