Intro
[G] Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
[Am] Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was [D] three [C] feet [G] tall
You've seen it [Am] all, [D] [Am] you've seen it [G] all
[G] Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
And [Am] in your belly you hold the treasure that [D] few have [C] ever [G] seen
Most of them [Am] dreams, [D] [Am] most of them [G] dreams
[G] Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The [Am] cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over forty [D] victim [Am] of [G] fate
Arriving too [Am] late, [D] arr[Am]iving too [G] late
[G] I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass
I [Am] made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it a(D)way (Am) so (G) fast
Never meant to [Am]last, [D] [Am] never meant to [G] last
[G] I have been drunk now for over two weeks,
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks,
But I've [Am] got stop wishin', got to go fishin'
I'm down to rock [D] bottom [Am] a[G]gain,
Just a few (Am) friends, [D] [Am] just a few [G] friends
Solo
[G] I go for younger women, lived with several awhile
And though I [Am] ran them away, they'll come back one day
And I still can [D] manage [Am] a [G] smile
It just takes a [Am]while, [D] [Am] just takes a [G] while
[G] Mother, mother ocean, after all these years I've found
My [Am] occupational hazard being my occupation's [D] just [Am] not a[G]round
I feel like I've [Am] drowned, [D] gonna [Am] head up[G]town
I feel like I've [Am] drowned, [D] gonna [Am] head up[G]town
