[Verse]
GMother mother ocean I have heard you call
CI've wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
C Am7Bm7Am7 G
You've seen it all You've seen it all
GWatched the men who rode you switch from sail to steam
CAnd in your belly you hold the treasures that few have ever seen
CMost of the dreams mAm7ost oBm7f thAm7em dreams G
GYes I am a pirate a few hundred years too late
CCannons don't thunder there's nothing to plunder I'm an over forty victim of fate
CArriving too latAm7e arBm7riviAm7ng too late G
GI've done a bit of smuggling I've run my share of weed
CI've made enough money to buy Miami but I've pissed away to fast
C Am7Bm7Am7 G
Never met to last never met to last
GI have been drunk now for over two weeks I've past out and I've rallied and I've sprung a few leaks
CI've got to stop wishing got to go fishing I'm done to rock bottom again
C Am7Bm7Am7 G
Just a few friends just a few friends
G C Am7 Bm7 Am7
GMother mother ocean After all these years I've found
Cmy occupational hazard being my occupations just not around
Am7I feel like I've drowned Bm7 Am7
CGonna head up town G
