G
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call 

C                                                           G
I've wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall 

              Am  D 
You've seen it all, 

               G
you've seen it all 
        
I've watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam 
And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen 
Most of 'em dreams, most of 'em dreams 

Yes I am a pirate, a few hundred years too late 
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder 
I'm an under-forty victim of fate 
Arriving too late, arriving too late 

I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass 
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast 
Never meant to last, never meant to last 

And I have been drunk now for over two weeks 
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks 
But I got stop wishin', got to go fishin' 
Down to rock bottom again 
with just a few friends, with just a few friends
