[Verse]
G
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
C                                                               G
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
               Am Bm Am                   G
You've seen it all, you've seen it all

[Verse 2]
G
Watch the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
C                                                                        G
And in your belly you hold the treasure that few have ever seen
                       Am Bm Am                      G
Most of them dreams, most of them dreams

[Verse 3]
G
Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
C                                                                              G
The cannons don't thunder there's nothin' to plunder, I'm an over forty victim of fate
                 Am Bm Am             G
Arriving too late, arriving too late

[Verse 4]
G
I've done a bit of smugglin' and I've run my share of grass
C                                                                                        G
I made enough money to buy Miami but I pissed it away so fast
                 Am Bm Am                       G
Never meant to last, never meant to last

[Verse 5]
G
I have been drunk now for over two weeks
G
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
C                                                                                    G
But I've got to stop wishin', got to go fishin' I'm down to rock bottom again
                            Am Bm Am            G
With just a few friends, just a few friends

[Verse 6] 
G
I go for younger women, lived with several awhile
C                                                                                  G
And though I ran away, they'll come back one day, I still could manage a smile
              Am Bm Am                 G
It just takes awhile, just takes awhile

[Outro]
G
Mother, mother ocean, after all these years I've found
C                                                                         G
My occupational hazard being, my occupation’s just not around
                             Am Bm Am                   G
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown
                            Am  Bm Am G
I feel like I've drowned
