I know we have people who sailed to this show tonight. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I hope you make it out of the pass on the way out of here.
_ That'd be good.
So [C] _ a _ _ [D] little song from the heart of one sailor [G] to another.
And _ we'll send this out to [D#m] my good friend Richard [G] out there who sailed.
_ _ _ A grueling voyage all the way from Tahoe.
I know.
_ _ Whoa. _ _ _
Storms, sea monsters.
What else was out there?
[F#] _
[G] Oh, God.
Up and down.
Okay. _
_ That was up and down to go to the cooler to get [F#] beer, right? _ _ _ _
Okay.
All [G] right.
So we're venturing out on the sea right now. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ As the son of a son of a sailor, I went [C] out on the sea for [G] adventures.
_ _ _ [C] Expanding the view of [G] the captain and crew like [D] a man just released from [G] _ indenture. _
As a dreamer of dreams and a traveling man, [A] I chalked up many [G] of my _ _ _ [C] great dozens of books
[G] about heroes and crooks, _ [D] learned much from both of [G] their _ styles.
_ [F] _ Son of a son, [C] _ son of a son, _ son of a son [G] of a _ sailor, _
_ [F] son of a gun, [C] load the last gun,
one step ahead [G] of the _ jailer.
Now away in the near future, _ _
_ [F] _ southeast [C] _ of [G]
disorder, _ hey, you [C] can shake the hand of [G] the man,
gold man, as he [D]
greets you [G] at the border. _ _
And the lady, she hails _ from Trinidad, _ [F] _ _ [C] island [G] of the spices, _ _ _ [C] the salt for your meat, [G] the
cinnamon sweet, hey, [D] the rum is for all [G] your good vices.
_ You've [F] got to haul the sheet in [C] as we ride on the wind that our forefathers harnessed [G] before us.
_ [F] Hear the bells [C] ring as the tide begins to sink.
It's the son of a [G] gun of a _ chorus. _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ With us always, I can't fathom my friend.
_ [D] I knew I just might toss out [G] my anchor, _ _ but [C] I'll cruise along, [G] always searching for some,
let [D] a lawyer plead for [G] a banker.
_ I'm [F] still the son of a son, [E] _
_ [C] son of a son, _ son of a son of [G] a _ _ sailor.
[F] The seas and my veins and [C] my traditional name, I'm just glad I don't live [G] in a trailer.
I did that.
[F] _ _
_ [C] _ _ I prefer the boat. _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ Thank you, sailor. _ _
_ All right.
_ _ Good to have sailors in the audience.
They kind of liven the joint up, you know.
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
