G 
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call  
 
C                                                           G 
I've wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall  
 
              Am  D  
You've seen it all,  
 
               G 
you've seen it all  
         
I've watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam  
And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen  
Most of 'em dreams, most of 'em dreams  
 
Yes I am a pirate, a few hundred years too late  
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder  
I'm an under-forty victim of fate  
Arriving too late, arriving too late  
 
I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass  
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast  
Never meant to last, never meant to last  
 
And I have been drunk now for over two weeks  
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks  
But I got stop wishin', got to go fishin'  
Down to rock bottom again  
with just a few friends, with just a few friends
