_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [G#] It comes as no surprise to [F#] everyone if you study your coastal history here that these
were the Spanish came from that way, the French came from that way, and we're here in the [Dm] middle.
This was pirate country back in those [G] days. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I figure there's still a few pirates around here [Am] too, you know. _ _ _
[G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Mother mother ocean, _ _ _ I have heard you call.
_ _ [C] I've wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet [G] tall.
You've seen [A] it all. _ _
[G] _ [Am] You've seen [G] it all. _ _
_ _ _ _ Watch the men who rode you, _ _ switched from sail to steam.
_ In [C] your valley you can hold the treasures few have ever [G] seen.
Most of them [Am] dream, _ _ _ most [G] of them dream. _ _
_ _ _ Yes I am a pirate, _ two hundred years too late.
_ _ [C] Cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder.
I'm a over forty victim [G] of fate. Way over.
Driving [Am] too late, _ _
[G] _ _ [Am] driving [G] too late. _
_ _ _ But I've done and finished smothering.
_ _ I've run my share of grass.
_ _ [C] Made enough money to buy Miami, but I've pissed it away [G] so fast.
Never [A] meant to last, _ _
[Bm] _ [C] never [G] meant to last. _
_ _ _ _ I have been drunk now for over two weeks,
Passed out at our rally and I sprung a few knees,
[C] But I got to stop, I got to go fishing,
_ Down to rock bottom [G] again,
With just a [Am] few friends, _ _
[G] _ _ [C] just a [G] few friends.
Thank you my friends! _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Well I go for younger women,
_ _ And live with several a while,
Though [C] I ran them away, hey they come back one day,
And they still can [G] manage a smile,
It just [Am] takes a while, _
[G] _ _ [Am] it just [G] takes a while. _
_ _ _ _ _ Mother, mother ocean,
_ After all my years I've found,
_ _ [C] _ _
Occupational hazard being,
My occupation's just [G] not around,
I feel like [Am] I've drowned, _
[G] _ _ [Am] But I won't wear [G] brown,
No way!
_ _ I feel like [Am] I've drowned. _
_ [Bm] I [D] might be getting [G] in trouble in this town! _
_ I'm tired of this!
_ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
Thank you pilots! _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Mr.
