Chords for Zac Brown Band & Jimmy Buffett Perform “Son of a Son of a Sailor” | CMT Crossroads

_ _ _ [G] I'm gonna do the first [C] verse. _
[G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] As the son of a son of a sailor, I [F] went out on [C] the sea for adventure.
_ _ [C] Expanding the view to the [G] captain and crew, like a [D] man just released [G] from indenture.
_ I like rhyming indenture too, because you've never heard that before.
_ As a dreamer of dreams and a traveling man, I've [C] chalked up many a mile.
[G] _ _ [C] Read dozens of books [G] about heroes and crooks.
[D] Hell, I learned much from both of their [C] [G] styles. _
[F] Son of a son, [C] son of a son, son of a son [Em] of a sailor.
[G] _ _
[F] Son of a god, [C] lo, the last time, one step [A] ahead of the tailor.
[G] _
Now and the near future, _ _
[F] southeast of [G] disorder.
Hey, [C] you can shake the hand of [G] the mango man as [D] he greets you at the border.
[G] _ _
Lady, she hails from Trinidad. _
[F] _ Island of [G] the spices.
[C] What's up for your meats?
[G] Cinnamon, sweetened, [D] no rums for all your [G] devices. _ _
[F] All this sheeting as [C] we ride on the wind that our forefathers [G] harnessed [A] before us. _
[F] In a downdraining [C] as the tide rigging sings, it's the son of a [G] god of a chorus.
Come on!
_ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ [G] _
So where this all ends, I can't fathom, my friend.
[F] I knew I just might [G] toss out my ankle. _
[C] Walked through the long, [G] I was searching for songs, [D] not a lawyer, a thief, [G] or a bank, or a good cook.
[F] Just the son of a son, [C] son of a son, son of a son [G] of a sailor. _
[F] This season my [C] veins, my tradition remains.
I'm just glad I don't live [G] in a trailer.
Did that. _
