Mother mother ocean, I have heard you call
C Bm7 Am7 GWanted to sail upon your water since I was three feet tall
G Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7 GYou seen it all, you seen it all
G
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sail to steam
And in your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
G Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7 GMost of them dream, most of them dream
G
Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
CThe cannons don't thunder there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over forty victim of fate
G Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7 GArriving to late, arriving to late
G
I done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass
C Bm7 Am7 GI made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last
I have been drunk now for over two weeks, I passed out and
I rallied and I smoked a few reefs
C Bm7 Am7 GBut I gotta stop wishin' I got to go fishin', down to Rock Bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends
LEAD
G
I go for younger women, lived with several a while
C Bm7 Am7 GThough I ran 'em away they come back one day, still could manage a smile
Just takes a while, just takes a while
Mother mother ocean, after all these years I've found
C Bm7 Am7 GOccupational hazzard beats an occupation just not around
G Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7 GFeel like I drowned, gonna head up town
Feel like I drowned, gonna head up town
