[G]
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
[C] Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three [G] feet tall
You've [Am] seen it all, [G]
[Am] you've [G] seen it all
Watched the man who rode you switch from sails to steam
[C] In your belly you hold the treasures you have ever [G]
seen
Most of them [Am] dreams,
[Bm] [Am] most [G] of them dreams
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The [C] cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder
I'm but over forty victim of [G] fate, arriving [Am] too late, [G] [Am] arriving [G] too late
I've done a bit of smuggling, and I've run my share of grass

Never [Am] meant to last, [G] [Am] never meant [G] to last
I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I ratted and I spun the fuse

I go for younger women, live with several of wives
Though [C] I ran away, they come back one day
Still can manage [G] to smile, just [Am] takes a while, [Bm] [Am] just [G] takes a while
Mother, mother ocean, after all the years I've found
[C] Occupation old hazard beach, occupation [G] just not around
