Repeat 'G' Pattern Twice G C G Am D7 G 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 D7 'Cuz you've seen it all, G You've seen it all G Watch 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 Most of them are dreams G Yes most of them are dreams G Yes, I am a pirate, a few hundred years too late C 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 G But I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass C G Made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast Am D7 It's never meant to last G It's never meant to last G I have been drunk now for over two weeks, Passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks C But I've got to stop wishin', got to go fishin' G I'm down to rock bottom again. Am D7 Just a few friends G Just a few friends G I go for younger women, lived with several a while C Though I ran them away, they'd come back one day G Still could manage to smile Am D7 G Just takes a while, just takes a while G Mother, mother ocean, after all the years I've found C G My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around Am D7 G I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown Am D7 G I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown
