[Intro]

[Verse]
G                                               
■ Mother mother ocean well I have heard you call
C                                                      G   
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
                      Am  D                G  
'cause you've seen it all ■ you've seen it all
                    G                                  
Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
C                                                           G   
And in your belly you hold the treasures that few have ever seen
            Am     D D7          G     
Most of 'em dreams ■ most of 'em dreams


[Inst]
C G Am D7 G

[Verse]
           G                                  
Yes I am a pirate a few hundred years too late
C                                                   
The cannons don't thunder there's nothing to plunder
                            G   
I'm an underforty victim of fate
             Am   D D7           G   
Arriving too late ■ arriving too late


[Chorus]
                   G                                  
I've done a bit of smuggling I've run my share of weed
         C                                                      G   
And I've made enough money to buy Miami but I pissed it away so fast
                    Am   D7                     G   
It's never meant to last ■  it's never meant to last


[Inst]
C G Am D G

[Chorus]
                              G             
And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
     G                                                      
I've passed out and I've rallied and I've sprung a few leaks
      C                                 
But I got stop wishing got to go fishing
                    G    
Down to rock bottom again
                Am      D7            G      
With just a few friends ■  just a few friends
                Am      D D7         G      
With just a few friends ■ just a few friends
