VERSE::
G7                    G7
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call. 
C                                                     G7
Wanted to sail on your waters since I was three feet tall.
               Am (Bm7 Am)              G7
You've seen it all,     you've seen it all.

G7                            G7
Watched the men who rode you, switched from sails to steam. 
C                                                        G7                                                     
And in your belly, you hold the treasures few have ever seen.
                Am (Bm7 Am)         G7  
Most of 'em dreams,     most of 'em dreams.

G7                  G7
Yes, I am a pirate. Two hundred years too late.
    C                                                                              G7                       
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder, I'm an over-forty victim of fate
               Am (Bm7 Am)           G7
Arriving too late,     arriving too late.

G7                            G7
I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass.
      C                                                      G7
I've made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast.
                 Am (Bm7 Am)             G7
Never meant to last,     never meant to last.

    G7                                          G7
And I have been drunk now for over two weeks. I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks.
      C                                                            G7
But I got to stop wishin', got to go fishing', down to Rock Bottom again.
                     Am (Bm7 Am)         G7
WIth just a few friends,     just a few friends.

I go for younger women, lived with several a while.
          C                                                              G7
Though  I ran 'em away, they'll come back one day. Still could manage to smile.
                   Am (Bm7 Am)          G7
It just takes a while,     just takes a while.

    G7                 G7
Mother, mother ocean, after all these years I've found,
   C                                                  G7
My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around.
                      Am (Bm7 Am)            G7
I feel like I've drowned,      gonna head up town.
                      Am (Bm7 Am)            G7
I feel like I've drowned,      gonna head up town.
