Verse: G Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call C wanted to sail upon your waters G since I was three feet tall Am D7 G You've seen it all You've seen it all Verse: G I've watched the men who rode you Switch from sails to steam C And in your belly you hold the treasures G Few have ever seen Am D7 G Most of them are dreams Yes most of them are dreams Verse: G Yes, I am a pirate a few hundred years too late C The cannons don't thunder there's nothin' to plunder G I'm an under forty victim of fate Am D7 G Arriving too late, arriving too late Verse: G Iβ€˜ve done a bit of smugglin' well I've run my share of grass C I made enough money to buy Miami G But I pissed it away so fast Am D7 G It's never meant to last It's never meant to last Verse: G Well I have been drunk now for over two weeks I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks C But I've got to stop wishin', got to go fishin' G down to rock bottom again Am D7 G Just a few friends Just a few friends Am D7 G
