[Intro] E Dsus2 Asus2 E Esus4 E Dsus2 Asus2 E Esus4 E [Verse]
       E
As the son of a son of a sailor

       Dsus2      Asus2      E Esus4 E
I went out on the sea for adventure

   A                       E
Expanding the view of the captain and crew

       B7                       E Esus4 E
like a man just released from indenture

     E
As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin' man

       Dsus2      Asus2   E
I have chalked up many a mile.

     A                      E
Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks

      B7                                E Esus4 E
and I learned much from both of their styles.
[Chorus]
Dsus2          Asus2
Son of a son, Son of a son

A                  E Esus4 E
Son of a son of a sailor

Dsus2          Asus2
Son of a gun, Load the last ton

A                      E Esus4 E
One step ahead of the jailor
[Verse]
    E
Now way in the near future,
Dsus2 Asus2E Southeast of disorder
        A                      E
You can shake the hand of the mango man

      B7                E Esus4 E
As he greets you at the border

        E
And the lady she hails from trinidad,

Dsus2  Asus2   E
Island of the spices

A                        E
Salt for your meat, and cinnamon sweet

        B7                        E Esus4 E
And the rum is for all your good vices.
[Bridge]
Dsus2                    Asus2
Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind

         A                         E Esus4 E
That our fore-fathers harnessed before us

Dsus2                       Asus2
Hear the bells ring as the tight rigging sings

       A                  E Esus4 E
It's a son of a gun of a chorus
[Solo] Dsus2 Asus2 A E Esus4 E Dsus2 Asus2 A E Esus4 E [Verse]
    E
Now where it all ends, I can't fathom my friends

     Dsus2         Asus2       E Esus4 E
If I knew I might toss out my anchor

   A                         E
So I'll cruise along always searching for songs

       B7                   E Esus4 E
Not a lawyer, a thief or a banker
[Chorus]
Dsus2               Asus2
But a son of a son, son of a son

A                  E Esus4 E
Son of a son of a sailor

Dsus2         Asus2
Son of a gun, load the last ton

A                      E Esus4 E
One step ahead of the jailor
[Outro]
Dsus2                    Asus2
I'm just a son of a son, son of a son

                   E Esus4 E
Son of a son of a sailor

    Dsus2                    Asus2
The sea's in my veins, my tradition remains

         A                       E Esus4 E
I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer
