Jimmy Buffett - Son of a son of a sailor

As the ^Gson of a son of a sailor I went ^Cout on the sea for adv^Genture Ex^Cpanding the view of the capt^Gain and crew like a ^Dman just released from in^Gdenture. As a ^Gdreamer of dreams and a travelin' man I have ^Cchalked up many a ^Gmile. Read ^Cdozens of books about ^Gheroes and crooks and I ^Dlearned much from both of their st^Gyles.

^FSon of a son, ^CSon of a son Son of a son of a ^Gsailor ^FSon of a gun, ^CLoad the last ton One step ahead of the ^Gjailor

Now ^Gway in the near future, ^CSoutheast of dis^Gorder You can ^Cshake the hand of the man^Ggo man As he ^Dgreets you at the ^Gborder And the ^Glady she hails from Trinidad, ^CIsland of the ^Gspices ^CSalt for your meat, and ^Gcinnamon sweet And the ^Drum is for all your good ^Gvices.

^FHaul the sheet in as we ^Cride on the wind That our fore-fathers harnessed be^Gfore us ^FHear the bells ring as the ^Ctide rigging sings It's a son of a gun of a ^Gchorus

^GNow where it all ends, I can't fathom my friends If I ^Cknew I might toss out my ^Ganchor So I'll ^Ccruise along always searchin^Gg for songs Not a ^Dlawyer, a thief or a ^Gbanker

^FBut a Son of a^C son, Son of a son Son of a son of a ^Gsailor ^FSon of a gun, ^CLoad the last ton One step ahead of the ^Gjailor

^FBut a Son of a^C son, Son of a son Son of a son of a ^Gsailor ^FSon of a gun, ^CLoad the last ton One step ahead of the ^Gjailor

^FI'm just a son of a son, ^Cson of a son Son of a son of a ^Gsailor The ^Fsea's in my veins, my tra^Cdition remains I'm just glad I don't live in a ^Gtrailer
