[F] [C] [G] .
As the son of a son of a sailor I went [F] out [C] on the sea for [G] adventure.
[C] Expanding the view of the [G] captain and crew like [D] a man just [G] released from indenture.
As a dreamer of dreams and a traveling man [F] I have chomped [C] a million [G] miles.
[C] Read dozens of books [G] about heroes and crooks and [D] I learned much in 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 god, [C] though the last time, one step ahead of the [G] jailer.
Now way in the near future, [F] southeast [C] .
of [G] disorder.
[C] You can shake the hand of the [G] mangle man as [D] he greets you at the [G] border.
And the lady she hails from Trinidad.
[F] I [C] love her brother's [G] spices, [C] salt for your meat [G] and cinnamon sweet.
And the [D] rum is for all your [G] goodbyes.
[F] Hold her sheet in as [C] we ride on the wind that our [G] forefathers harnessed before us.
[F] Hear the bells ring as [C] the tide ricket sings it's the son of [Am] a god of [G] a chorus.
[F] Where [C] [Am] .
[G] [F] .
[C] [Am] .
[G] it all ends I can't fathom my friends if I [F] knew I [C] might toss out my [G] anchor.
[C] So I cruise along [G] always searching for songs not [D] a lawyer, a thief or a [G] banker.
[F] But son of a son, [C] son of a son, son of [Dm] a [G] son of a sailor.
[F] Son of a god, [C] though the last time, one step ahead [D] of [G] the jailer.
I'm [F] just a son of [C] a son, son of a son, son of a son of [G] a sailor.
[F] The seas in my veins, [C] my tradition remains, I'm just glad I [Am] don't live [G] in a trailer.
[F] [C] .
[G] [F] .
[C] .
[G] [F] .
