[Verse]
G
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard 
you call
C                             
Wanted to sail upon your waters 
                          G
since I was three feet tall
G             Am7  G      Am7   
Youve seen it all, you’ve seen it 
  G
all

[Verse]
G
Watched the men who rode you switch 
from sails to steam
C                            
And in your belly you hold the 
                          G
treasures few have ever seen
G       Em Am7  G   Bm7
Most of em dream,
Am7        G
most of em dream

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

Continues after the ad
[Verse]
G
I’ve done a bit of smugglin, I’ve 
run my share of grass
C                                 
I made enough money to buy Miami, 
                       G
but I pissed it away so fast
G           Am7       Bm7
Never meant to last,
Am7              G
 never meant to last

[Bridge]
Am                                 
And I have been drunk now for over 
G
two weeks
G                  Am            
I passed out and I rallied and I 
G
sprung a few leaks
C
But I got stop wishin, got to go 
fishin
C                   G
Down to rock bottom again
G          Am7        G
Just a few friends,
Am7        G
just a few friends

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
G
I go for younger women, lived with 
several awhile
C
Though I ran em away, they’d come 
back one day
C                      G
Still could manage to smile
G       Am7           Bm
Just takes a while,
Am7         G
just takes a while

[Verse]
G
Mother, mother ocean, after all the 
years I’ve found
C                             
My occupational hazard being my 
                        G
occupations just not around
G           Am7             G
I feel like I’ve drowned,
Am7   G
gonna head uptown

G           Am7             Bm
I feel like I’ve drowned,
Am7   G
gonna head uptown
