[F] [Ab]

[Bbm]
[Ab]
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
I've [Db] wanted to sail upon your waters since I was [Eb] three feet [Ab] tall
You've seen [Bbm] it all, [Cm] [F] you've seen it all
[Ab]
Watch the men who rode [Fm] you [Ab] switch from sails to steam
And [Db] in your belly you hold the treasures few have [Ab] ever seen
Most [F] of them dream, [Bbm] [Cm] [Bbm] most of them [Ab] dream
[Ab] Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
[Db] The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to ponder
Mother, I'm an over [Eb]-forty victim [Ab] of fate
But I've been [Bbm] too late, [Cm] [Bbm] I've been [Ab] too late
I've done a bit of smuggling, I've run my share of grass
[Db] I've made enough money to buy my hammock
But I've pissed it [Eb] away so [Ab] fast
Never meant to [Bbm] last, [Cm] never [Bbm] meant to [Ab] last
[Ab] I've been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out in a rally and I sprung a few leeks
[Db] But I gotta stop wishin', got to go fishin'
Down to rock bottom [Ab] again
Just a [Bbm] few friends,
[Cm] [Bbm] just a [Ab] few friends
[Db]
[Fm]
[Bbm]
[Cm] [Ab]
I go for younger women, live with several a while
Though [Db] I ran them away, come back one day
Still [Eb] could manage [Ab] a smile, just takes [Bbm] a while
[Cm]
[Bbm] Just takes [Ab] a while
Mother, mother ocean, after all the years I've flown
My [Db] occupational hazard bit
My [Eb] occupation's just [Ab] not around
I feel like [Bbm] I've drowned, [Cm] [Bbm] gone ahead of [Ab] time
I feel like [Bbm] I've drowned, [Cm] gone ahead of [Ab] time
Thank [Ab]
you, thank you, thank you
