# play intro by fingerpicking the notes used in the g chord
G
Mother, mother ocean I have heard you call.
C
I've wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall. 
C                  Am7Bm7Am7           G
You've seen it all.      You've seen it all.

G
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sail to steam.
C
And in your belly, you hold the treasures that few have ever seen.
C                   Am7  Bm7 Am7                G
Most of the dreams,       most of them dreams.

G
Yes I am a pirate, a few hundred years too late. 
C
Cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to  plunder. I'm an over forty victim of fate.
C               Am7 Bm7 Am7            G
Arriving too late,       arriving too late.

G
I've done a bit of smuggling, I've run my share of weed.
C
I've made enough money to buy Miami but I've pissed away to fast.
C                  Am7Bm7Am7             G
Never met to last,     never met to last.

G
I have been drunk now for over two weeks. I've past out and I've rallied and I've sprung a few leaks.
C 
I've got to stop wishing, got to go fishing. I'm done to rock bottom again.
C                Am7Bm7Am7       G
Just a few friends,    just a few friends.

G C Am7 Bm7 Am7

G
Mother, mother ocean. After all these years I've found 
C
my occupational hazard being my occupations just not around. 
Am7                              Bm7 Am7
I feel like I've drowned.
C                        G
Gonna head up town.
