[Verse 1]
[C]Mother, mother ocean,
I have heard you call
[F]Wanted to sail upon your waters
since I was three feet [C]tall
You've seen it [Dm]all,
[Em]you'[Dm]ve seen it all[C]

[Verse 2]
[C]Watched the men who rode you
switch from sails to steam
And [F]in your belly, you hold the treasures
few have ever [C]seen
Most of 'em [Dm]dream,
[Em]most[Dm] of 'em drea[C]m

[Verse 3]
[C]Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The [F]cannons don't thunder,
there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of [C]fate
Arriving too [Dm]late,
[Em]arrivi[Dm]ng too late[C]

[Verse 4]
[C]I've donе a bit of smugglin',
I've run my share of grass
I [F]made еnough money to buy Miami,
but I pissed it away so [C]fast
Never meant to [Dm]last,
[Em]never mean[Dm]t to last[C]

[Verse 5]
And [C]I have been drunk now
for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied
and I sprung a few leaks
But I [F]got to stop wishin', got to go fishin'
Down to rock bottom a[C]gain
Just a few [Dm]friends,
[Em]just[Dm] a few frien[C]ds

[Solo 1]

[Verse 6]
[C]I go for younger women,
lived with several awhile
Though I [F]ran 'em away,
they'd come back one day
Still could manage to [C]smile
Just takes a [Dm]while,
[Em]just[Dm] takes a while[C]

[Outro 1]
[C]Mother, mother ocean,
after all the years I've found
My [F]occupational hazard being
my occupation's just not a[C]round
I feel like I've [Dm]drowned,
[Em]gonna head[Dm] uptown[C]
I feel like I've [Dm]drowned,
[Em]gonna head[Dm] uptown[C]
[Dm][Em][Dm]
[C][F][C]
