[Verse]
G
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
C
wanted to sail upon your waters
G
since I was three feet tall
Am D7 G
You've seen it all You've seen it all
[Verse]
G
I've watched the men who rode you Switch from sails to steam
C
And in your belly you hold the treasures
G
Few have ever seen
Am D7 G
Most of them are dreams Yes most of them are dreams
[Verse]
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
Am D7 G
Arriving too late, arriving too late
[Verse]
G
I‘ve done a bit of smugglin' well I've run my share of grass
C
I made enough money to buy Miami
G
But I pissed it away so fast
Am D7 G
It's never meant to last It's never meant to last
[Verse]
G
Well I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
C
But I've got to stop wishin', got to go fishin'
G
down to rock bottom again
Am D7 G
Just a few friends Just a few friends
Am D7 G
Just a few friends Just a few friends
