As the son of a son of a sailor I went [F] out [C] on the sea for [G] adventure
_ _ [C] Expanding the view of [G] the captain and crew like [D] a man just released from [G] indenture
_ As a dreamer of dreams and a traveling man I [F] have chomped [C] down many [G] a mile
_ [C] Read dozens of books [G] about heroes and crooks and [D] I learned much in both [G] of their styles
_ [F] Son of a son, [C] son of a son, son of a son [G] of a sailor
_ _ [F] Son of a God, [C] though the last time, one step ahead of [G] the jailer
_ Now away in the near future, _ _ [F] _ [C] southeast of [G] disorder
_ You [C] can shake the hand of [G] the mango man as [D] he greets you at [G] the border
_ And the letter she hails from Trinidad
_ [F] Islands [C] _
of [G] spices, _ [C] salt for your meat [G] and cinnamon sweet
And [D] the rum is for all your [G] goodbyes
_ _ [F] All the sheeting [C] as we ride on the wind that our [G] forefathers harnessed before us
_ [F] Hear the bells ring [C] as the tide riggin' sings, it's the son of a [Am] God [G] of a chorus
_ [F] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ Where it all ends I can't fathom my friends if [F] I knew I [C] might toss out [G] my anchor
_ [C] So I cruise along [G] always searching for songs, not [D] a lawyer, a thief or [G] a banker
_ [F] But son of a son, [C] son of a son, son of a [G] son of a sailor
_ [F] Son of a God, [C] though the last time, one step [D] ahead [G] of the jailer
I'm just [C] a son of a son, son of a son, son of a [G] son of a sailor
_ [F] The seas in my [C] veins, my tradition remains, I'm just glad [Am] I don't live [G] in a trailer
