	G
	Mother, mother ocean

I have heard you call

	C	D
	I wanted to sail upon your waters

	Am7	G
	since	I was three feet tall

	Am	D
You've seen it a	ll

	Am7	G
	You've seen it	all

I watched the men who rode you

Switch from sails to steam

And in your belly you hold the treasure

That few have ever seen

Most of them dreams

Yes, I am a pirate

Two hundred years too late

The cannons don't thunder

There's nothin' to plunder

I'm an over forty victim of fate

Arriving too late

I've done a bit of smugglin'

I've run my share of grass

I made enough money to buy Miami

But I pissed it away so fast

Never meant to last

I have been drunk now

For over two weeks,

I passed out and I rallied

And I sprung a few leaks,

But I've got stop wishin'

Got to go fishin'

I'm down to rock bottom again

Just a few friends

I go for younger women

Lived with several awhile

And though I ran away

They'll come back one day

And I still can manage a smile

It just takes a while

Just takes a while

Mother, mother ocean

After all these years I've found

My occupational hazard being

My occupation's just not around

I feel like I've drowned

Gonna head uptown
