G Mother mother ocean I have heard you call CG I've wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall Am7 You've seen it all Am6G You've seen it all
G Watched the men who rode you switch from sail to steam CG And in your belly you hold the treasures that few have ever seen Am7 Most of them dreams Am6G Most of them dreams
Interlude/Solo: same chords
G Yes I am a pirate a few hundred years too late CG The cannons don't thunder there's nothing to plunder I'm an over forty victim of fate Am7 Arriving too late Am6G Arriving too late
G I've done a bit of smuggling I've run my share of weed CG I've made enough money to buy Miami but I've pissed away to fast Am7 Never met to last Am6G Never met to last
G I have been drunk now for over two weeks I've passed out and I've rallied and I've sprung a few leaks CG I've got to stop wishing got to go fishing I'm done to rock bottom again Am7 With just a few friends Am6G Just a few friends
extra verse:
G Mother mother ocean after all these years I've found CG My occupational hazard being my occupations just not around Am7 I feel like I've drowned Am6G Gonna head up town
