[G] Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
[C] Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet [G] tall
You've seen it [Am] all you've [D7] seen it [G] all
[G] Watch the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
And [C] in your belly you hold the treasure that few have ever [G] seen
Most of them [Am] dreams, [D7] most of them [G] dreams
[G] Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The [C] cannons don't thunder there's nothin' to plunder,
I'm an over forty victim of [G] fate
Arriving too, arriving too [Am] late, [D7] arriving too [G] late
[G] I've done a bit of smugglin' and I've run my share of grass
I [C] made enough money to buy Miami but I pissed it away so [G] fast
Never meant to [Am] last, never [D7] meant to [G] last
[G] I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I've [C] got to stop wishin', got to go fishin'
I'm down to rock bottom a-[G]gain
With just a few [Am] friends, [D7] just a few [G] friends
[G] I go for younger women, lived with several awhile
And though I [C] ran away, they'll come back one day,
I still could manage a [G] smile
It just takes a [Am] while, [D7] just takes a [G] while
[G] Mother, mother ocean, after all these years I've found
My [C] occupational hazard being, my occupation's just not a-[G]round
I feel like I've [Am] drowned, gonna [D7] head up-[G]town
I feel like I've [Am] drowned, gonna [D7] head up-[G]town
