G  
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call   
C                                                           G  
I've wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall   
C             Am  D   
You've seen it all,   
               G  
you've seen it all   
  
G          
I've watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam   
C                                                           G 
And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen 
C             Am  D  		   G 
Most of 'em dreams, most of 'em dreams   
 
G 
Yes I am a pirate, a few hundred years too late   
C                                                  
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder   
				G 
I'm an under-forty victim of fate   
C             Am  D  		   G 
Arriving too late, arriving too late   
 
G 
I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass 
C                                                  G 
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast 
C             Am  D  		   G 
Never meant to last, never meant to last   
 
G 
And I have been drunk now for over two weeks 
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks   
C                                        
But I got stop wishin', got to go fishin'   
			G 
Down to rock bottom again 
C             Am  D  		   G 
with just a few friends, with just a few friends
