(início)
G Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call C G Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall Am7 Bm7 Am7 G You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Verse
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 Am7 Bm7 Am7 G Most of them dreams, most of them dreams
Verse
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 Am7 Bm7 Am7 G Arriving too late, arriving too late
Verse
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 Am7 Bm7 Am7 G Never meant to last, never meant to last
Verse
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 Am7 Bm7 Am7 G With just a few friends, just a few friends

Verse
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 Am7 Bm7 Am7 G It just takes awhile, just takes awhile
Verse
G Mother, mother ocean, after all these years I've found C G My occupational hazard being, my occupation’s just not around Am7 Bm7 Am7 G I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown Am7 Bm7 Am7 G I feel like I've drowned
