[F] [C] [G]

[F] [C] [G]
As the son of a son of a sailor, I [F] went out on [C] the sea for [G] adventure
Expanding the view of the captain and crew, [D] like a man just released [G] from indenture
As a dreamer, a dream, and a traveling man, [F] hell I've [C] chalked up many [G] a mile
Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks, [D] hell I learned much from both [D] of their styles
[G]
[F] Son of a son, [C] son of a son, son of a son [G] of a sailor
[F] Son of a god, [C] though the last time, one step ahead [A] of the jailer
[G]
Now away in the near future, [C] southeast of [G] disorder
Well you [C] can shake the hand [G] of a mango man as he [D] greets you at the [G] border
And the lady she hails from Trinidad,
[F] I [C] end [G] up by his side
[C] It's hot for your meat, [G] and sweet [D] and maroon, it's for all [G] your good voices
All the sheeting as [C] we ride on the wind, that my poor father's [G] harnessed before us
[F] Hear the bells ring as the [C] tide riggins sing, it's the son [Bm] of a god [Am] of a [G] chorus, that is right
[F] [C]

[F]
[A] [G]
Where this all ends I can't fathom my friend, [F] if I knew I [C] just might toss [G] out my anchor
I'll cruise along always searching for songs, [D] had a lawyer, need for [G] a banker
I'm just the [F] son of a son, [C] son of a son, son of a son [G] of a sailor
[F] The seeds in my [C] veins, my tradition remains, I'm just glad [Bm] I don't live [A] in a [G] trailer
