G

Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call

C G

I've wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall

Am D

You've seen it all,

G

you've seen it all

I've watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam

And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen

Most of 'em dreams, most of 'em dreams

Yes I am a pirate, a few hundred years too late

The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder

I'm an under-forty victim of fate

Arriving too late, arriving too late

I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass

I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast

Never meant to last, never meant to last

And I have been drunk now for over two weeks

I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks

But I got stop wishin', got to go fishin'

Down to rock bottom again

with just a few friends, with just a few friends
