[Verse 1]
D Mother mother ocean, I have heard your call, G D Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall, Em G D You've seen it all, you've seen it all
[Verse 2]
D Watched the men who rode you, switch from sail to steam, G D And in your belly you hold the treasure, that few have ever seen, Em G D Most of them dream, most of them dream
[Verse 3]
D Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late, G The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder, D I'm an over-forty victim of fate, Em G D Arriving too late, arriving too late
[Verse 4]
D I done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass, G D I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast, Em G D Never meant to last, never meant to last
[Verse 5]
D
I have been drunk now for over two weeks,I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks,
G D But I gotta stop wishin', gotta go fishin', I'm down to rock bottom again, Em G D Just a few friends, just a few friends
[Verse 6]
D I go for younger women, lived with several a while, G D Though I ran 'em away they come back one day, still could manage a smile, Em G D Just takes a while, just takes a while
[Verse 7]
D Mother mother ocean, after all these years I've found, G D My occupational hazard being, my occupation's just not around Em G D Feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown Em G D Feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown
