[Intro]
G G F C G
G G F C G
G
As the son of a son of a sailor
C G
I went out on the sea for adventure
C G
Expanding the view of the captain and crew
D G
like a man just released from indentured
G
As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin' man
C G
I have chalked up many a mile.
C G
Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks
D G
and I learned much from both of their styles.
[Chorus]
F C
Son of a son, Son of a son
G
Son of a son of a sailor
F C
Son of a gun, Load the last ton
G
One step ahead of the jailor
G
Now way in the near future,
C G
Southeast of disorder
C G
You can shake the hand of the mango man
D G
As he greets you at the border
G
And the lady she hails from Trinidad,
C G
Island of the spices
C G
Salt for your meat, and cinnamon sweet
D G
And the rum is for all your good vices.
[BRIDGE]
F C
Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind
G
That our fore-fathers harnessed before us
F C
Hear the bells ring as the tide rigging sings
G
It's a son of a gun of a chorus
[Break]
F C C G
F C C G
G
Now where it all ends, I can't fathom my friends
C G
If I knew I might toss out my anchor
C G
So I'll cruise along always searching for songs
D G
Not a lawyer, a thief or a banker
[Chorus]
F C
But a Son of a son, Son of a son
G
Son of a son of a sailor
F C
Son of a gun, Load the last ton
G
One step ahead of the jailor
[Chorus]
F C
But a Son of a son, Son of a son
G
Son of a son of a sailor
F C
Son of a gun, Load the last ton
G
One step ahead of the jailor
[Chorus]
F C
I'm just a son of a son, son of a son
G
Son of a son of a sailor
F C
The sea's in my veins, my tradition remains
G
I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer
