Chords
G
As the son of a son of a sailor
F C G
I went out on the sea for adventure
C G
Expanding the view of the captain and crew
D G
Like a man just released from indenture
G
As a dreamer of dreams and a traveling man
F C G
I have chalked up many a mile
C G
Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks
D G
And learned much from both of their styles
F C G
Son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor
F C
Son of a gun, load the last ton
C G
One step ahead of the jailer
G F C G
Now way in the near future, southeast of disorder
C G
You can shake the hand of the mango man
D G
As he greets you at the border
G
And the lady she hails from Trinidad
F C G
Island of the spices
C G
Salt for your meat, and cinnamon sweet
D G
And the rum is for all your good vices
F C G
Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind that our forefather harnessed before us
F C
Hear the bell ring as the tide rigging sings
C G
It's the son of a gun of a chorus
G
Where it all ends, I can't fathom my friends
F C G
If I knew I might toss out my anchor
C G
So I'll cruise along always searching for songs
D G
Not a lawyer a thief or a banker
F C G
But a son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor
F C
Son of a gun, load the last ton
C G
One step ahead of the jailer
F C G
I'm just the son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor
F C
The sea's in my veins, my tradition remains
C G
I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer
