      Mother mother ocean, I have heard you call 
      C                                          Bm7   Am7  G 
      Wanted to sail upon your water since I was three feet tall 
      G   Am7  Bm7 Am7  Bm7         G 
      You seen it  all, you seen it all 


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


      G 
      Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late 
          C 
      The cannons don't thunder there's nothin' to plunder 
      C                 Bm7    Am7 G 
      I'm an over forty victim of  fate 
      G   Am7  Bm7 Am7   Bm7         G 
      Arriving to  late, arriving to late 


      G 
      I done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass 
        C                                               Bm7  Am7 G 
      I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so  fast 
      G     Am7  Bm7 Am7   Bm7            G 
      Never meant to last, never meant to last 


      G 
      I have been drunk now for over two weeks, I passed out and 

            I rallied and I smoked a few reefs 
      C                                                    Bm7   Am7 G 
      But I gotta stop wishin' I got to go fishin', down to Rock Bottom again 
      G   Am7 Bm7 Am7      Bm7        G 
      Just a  few friends, just a few friends 

      LEAD 


      G 
      I go for younger women, lived with several a while 
               C                                                Bm7   Am7 G 
      Though I ran 'em away they come back one day, still could manage a smile 
      G    Am7  Bm7 Am7   Bm7          G 
      Just takes a while, just takes a while 


      G 
      Mother mother ocean, after all these years I've found 
      C                                        Bm7  Am7 G 
      Occupational hazzard beats an occupation just not around 
      G    Am7 Bm7 Am7      Bm7           G 
      Feel like I  drowned, gonna head up town 
      G    Am7 Bm7 Am7      Bm7           G 
      Feel like I  drowned, gonna head up town
