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

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

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

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

G7 G7 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 C G7 G7
But I got to stop wishin', got to go fishing', down to Rock Bottom again.
Am Am (Bm7 Bm7 Am Am) G7 G7
WIth just a few friends, just a few friends.

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

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

I feel like I've drowned, gonna head up town.

Play "Am (Bm7 Am)" with a full Am, then two down strokes each of BM7 and AM

Play the "(G7sus4) G7" by starting the pattern (downstroke) with G7sus4 then finish the pattern in G7

Cadd9 should just be the A string at 5th fret, don't know why it doesn't show that way
Play "(Cadd9) C" by starting the pattern (downstroke) with Cadd9 (as explained above), then finish the pattern in C
