[/] [G] . Mother, mother [/] ocean ... [/] . I have heard you [/] call
[/] [C] Wanted to sail u-  [/] pon your waters since [/] I was three feet [/] [G] tall
'cause you've seen it [/] [Am] all... [/] [D] .. you've seen it [/] [G] all  [/] [G] [/]


[/] [G] . Watched the men who [/] rode you .. [/] . switch from sails to [/] steam
And [/] [C] in your belly, you [/] hold the treasures [/] few have ever [/] [G] seen
Most of 'em [/] [Am] dream... [/] [D] .. most of 'em [/] [G] dream [/] [G] [/]

[/] [G] . Yes I am a [/] pirate, a [/] few hundred years too [/] late
The [/] [C] cannons don't thunder, there's [/] nothin' to plunder
I'm an [/] [C] under forty victim of [/] [G] fate
Arriving too [/] [Am] late... [/] [D] .. arriving too [/] [G] late [/] [G] [/]


[/] [G] . I've done a bit of [/] smugglin'.. [/] . I've run my share of [/] weed
I've [/] [C] made enough money, to [/] buy Miami, but I [/] pissed it away so [/] [G] fast
Never meant to [/] [Am] last... [/] [D] .. never meant to [/] [G] last [/] [G] [/]

[/] [Am]  [/] [D]  [/] [G]  [/] [G] [/]  


And [/] [G] I have been drunk now for [/] over two weeks
I've [/] [G] passed out and I rallied and I've [/] sprung a few leaks
I've [/] [C] got to stop wishin', I've [/] got to go fishin'
[/] [C] Down to rock bottom a- [/] [G] gain
With just a few [/] [Am] friends... [/] [D] .. just a few [/] [G] friends [/] [G]
With just a few [/] [Am] friends... [/] [D] .. just a few [/] [G!] friends
