Stick Figure – A Pirate Looks At 40 (Guitar)

A                     A
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call

D                                                                D
I’ve Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall

A                          E                           A
You've seen it all, you've seen it all…

A                     A
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call

D                                                                D
I’ve Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall

A                          E                           A
You've seen it all, you've seen it all

A
Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam

         D                                            A
And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen

                          E                  A
Most of them dream, most of them dream

A
Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late

        D
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder

               A
I'm an over-forty victim of fate

                      E                 A
Arriving too late, arriving too late

A
I've done a bit of smuggling, I've run my share of grass

  D                                            A
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast

        E              A
Never meant to last, never meant to last

A
And I have been drunk now for over two weeks

A
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks

          D                                    A
But I got stop wishing, got to go fishing, down to rock bottom again

                    E                 A
Just a few friends, just a few friends

A                            A
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call

D                                                                 D
I’ve Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall

A                          E                           A
You've seen it all, you've seen it all

                    E                     A
Just a few friends, just a few friends...
