This is a power looks at 40
[Am] [G] [Am]
[G]
mother mother ocean I
Have heard you call I
[C] Wanted to say upon your water since I was three [G] feet tall
You've [A] seen it all
[G] [A] You've [G] seen it all
[C] [G]
Watch the man that rode you
switch from sail to sting
[C] In your belly you hold the treasures the few have ever [G] seen
most of [A] them dreams
[G] [A] most [G] of them dreams
Yes, I am a pirate
200 years too late
[C] The cannons don't thunder.
There's nothing to plunder.
I'm an over 40 victim [G] of fate
arriving [Am] too [A] late
[G] [A] arriving [G] too late
I've done a bit of smuggling
I've run my share of grass I
[C] Made enough money to [D] buy my [C] amy, but I pissed it away [G] so fast
never [Am] meant to last
[G] never meant to last
I've been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and rallied and sprung a few leaks, but [C] I got a star [G] wish
[C] Gotta go fishing down to rock bottom [G] again
Just a [Am] few friends
[G] [Am] Just a few [G] friends.
Thank you for I

Go for younger women
I live with several of a while and [Am] though I ran away
[C] They come back one day and they [D] still can manage [G] a smile.
It just [Am] takes a while
[G] [Am] It just [G] takes a while
[C] [G]

After all the years I found
[C] [A] Occupational [D] hazard being my occupation just [G] not around I feel like [Am] I've drowned
