[Intro]
G F C G
[Verse 1]
G As the son of a son of a sailor F C G I went out on the sea for adventure C G expanding the view of the captain and crew D G C G like a man just released from indenture G As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin' man, F C G I have chalked up many a mile C G Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks, D G C G and I've learned much from both of their styles
[Chorus]
F C Son of a son, son of a son G C G Son of a son of a sailor. F Son of a gun, C Load the last ton, G C G One step a head of the jailer
[Verse 2]
G Now away in the near furture F C G southeast of disorder. C G You can shake the hand of the mango man D G C G as he greets you at the border G And the lady she hails from trinidad, F C G island of the spices C G Salt for you meat and cinamon sweet D G C G and the rum is for all your good vices.
[Bridge]
F C Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind G C G that our fore-fathers harnessed before us F C Hear the bells ring as the tide rigging sings. G C G It's a son of a gun of a chorus

[Verse 3]
G Now where it all ends I can't fathom my friends F C G If I knew I might toss out my anchor C So I'll cruse along, G always searching for songs D G C G not a Lawyer, a Thief or a Banker
[Chorus]
F C But a son of a son, Son of a son G C G Son of a son of a sailor F C Son of a gun, load the last ton G C G One step ahead of the jailor. F C I’m just a son of a son, son of a son G C G Son of a son of a sailor F C The sea's in my veins; my tradition remains G C G I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer
