[Verse]
GMother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
Cwanted to sail upon your waters
since I was three feet Gtall
You've seen it Amall D7 You've seen itG all
[Verse]
G I've watched the men who rode you Switch from sails to steam
And Cin your belly you hold the treasures
Few have ever Gseen
Most of them are Amdreams D7 Yes most of them are Gdreams
[Verse]
G Yes, I am a pirate a few hundred years too late
The Ccannons don't thunder there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an under forty victim of Gfate
Arriving too Amlate, D7 arriving too Glate
[Verse]
G I‘ve done a bit of smugglin' well I've run my share of grass
I Cmade enough money to buy Miami
But I pissed it away so Gfast
It's never meant to lAmast D7 It's never meant to Glast
[Verse]
Well GI have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I've Cgot to stop wishin', got to go fishin'
down to rock bottom agGain
Just a few Amfriends D7 Just a few Gfriends
Just a few Amfriends D7 Just a few Gfriends
