and Kathleen [C] Earl on the piano.
[D#]
He was [Bm] the newest published novelist, by [D#] the way.
Yes, [N] he is.
He's got a really cool book out.
It's [G] called Unnatural Selection,
kind of a biological [A#] science fiction thing.
It's really cool.
You'd [G#] like it.
Everybody I [G] know who's read it loved it.
It's a great book.
And for those of you who already have it,
the [C#] second one is on the way.
[A#] Yes, it is.
[F#]
[N] This is a song about
Yes, about getting old.
Best song that Jimmy Buffett ever wrote.

[F#]
[G#m] You've seen it all.
[F#]
God knows you've seen it all.
Why is the man in the world
Why does he switch from sails to steam?
[B] In your belly, hold out of the treasure
Few have ever [F#] seen.
Most of them are [G#m] dreams.
[G#]

[F#]
[G#m] [B]
[F#]
Done a bit of smuggling
Out on my shiro grass.
[G#]
[B] Hell, I made enough money
To buy my hammy, but then I pissed it all away [F#] so fast.
It [G#m] wasn't the right cost.
[F#] [G#m]
It was never meant
[F#] to be.
Yes, I am a pirate.
200 years too late.
[B] Tenet don't thunder.
There ain't nothing left to plunder.
I'm an over 40 [F#] victim of Satan.
Right [G#] too late.

I know for younger women
I've been a pirate and I've lived with several wives.

And we still can [F#] manage to smile.
It takes [G#m] a while.
It only takes a [F#] little while.
[C#] [F#]
[C#] [F#]
I have been drunk now for over two weeks.
Passed out in a rally and I sprung a few leaps.

I just got to go fishing
Cause I'm down at rock bottom [F#] again
With just a few [G#] friends.
[G#m] Just [F#] a few friends.
[B] [F#]
Mother of the [C#m] [F#] ocean.
After all the years I've had.
[B] And my occupational hazard has been
My occupation just ain't [F#] around.
I feel [G#m] like I'm drowning.
It won't get [F#] me down.
I feel like [D#m] I'm drowning.
[G#m]
[C#] I think [C#] I'll get drunk uptown.
[F#] Mother of the [C#] ocean.
