G mother mother ocean G i have heard you call C wanted to sail upon your waters C G since i was 3ft tall Am D Because you've seen it all G you've seen it all G i watched the men who rode you G they switched from sails to steam C and in your belly you hold the treasures C G few have ever seen Am D most of them are dreams G most of them are dreams G well yes i am a pirate G a few hundered years to late C the cannons dont thunder C there's nothing to plunder C G im an under 40 victim of fate Am D arriving to late G arriving to late G i've done a bit of smuggling G well i've run my share of grass C i've made enough money to buy my emy C G but i pissed it away so fast Am D its never ment to last G its never ment to last G well i've been drunk now 4 over 2 weeks G i've passed out and i've rallied and i've sprung a few leaks C but i've gotta stop wishin' C i've gotta go fishin' C G down to rock bottom again Am D with just a few friends G just a few friends Am D with just a few friends G just a few friends
