A PIRATE LOOKS AT FORTY ACORDES
[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 [Outro]
