Jack Johnson – A Pirate Looks At Forty (Ukulele)

G
Mother mother ocean I have heard you call

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

C                  Am7 Bm7 Am7         G
You've seen it all You've seen it all

G
Watched the men who rode you switch from sail to steam

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

C                   Am7  Bm7 Am7        G
Most of the dreams most of them dreams

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

C
Cannons don't thunder there's nothing to plunder I'm an over forty victim of fate

C               Am7 Bm7 Am7          G
Arriving too late arriving too late

G
I've done a bit of smuggling I've run my share of weed

C
I've made enough money to buy Miami but I've pissed away to fast

C                  Am7 Bm7 Am7       G
Never met to last never met to last

G
I have been drunk now for over two weeks I've past out and I've rallied and I've sprung a few leaks

C
I've got to stop wishing got to go fishing I'm done to rock bottom again

C                Am7 Bm7 Am7     G
Just a few friends just a few friends

G
Mother mother ocean After all these years I've found

C
my occupational hazard being my occupations just not around

Am7                       Bm7 Am7
I feel like I've drowned

C                    G
Gonna head up town
