A Pirate Looks At Forty
Chords
G
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
Am7
You've seen it all
Am6 G
You've seen it all
G
Watched the men who rode you switch from sail to steam
C G
And in your belly you hold the treasures that few have ever seen
Am7
Most of them dreams
Am6 G
Most of them dreams
Interlude/Solo: same chords
G
Yes I am a pirate a few hundred years too late
C G
The cannons don't thunder there's nothing to plunder I'm an over forty victim of fate
Am7
Arriving too late
Am6 G
Arriving too late
G
I've done a bit of smuggling I've run my share of weed
C G
I've made enough money to buy Miami but I've pissed away to fast
Am7
Never met to last
Am6 G
Never met to last
G
I have been drunk now for over two weeks I've passed out and I've rallied and I've sprung a few leaks
C G
I've got to stop wishing got to go fishing I'm done to rock bottom again
Am7
With just a few friends
Am6 G
Just a few friends
# extra verse:
G
Mother mother ocean after all these years I've found
C G
My occupational hazard being my occupations just not around
Am7
I feel like I've drowned
Am6 G
Gonna head up town
