A Pirate Looks At 40

A A Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call D D I’ve Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall A E A You've seen it all, you've seen it all… A A Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call D D I’ve Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall A E A You've seen it all, you've seen it all A Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam D A And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen E A Most of them dream, most of them dream A Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late D The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder A I'm an over-forty victim of fate E A Arriving too late, arriving too late A I've done a bit of smuggling, I've run my share of grass D A I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast E A Never meant to last, never meant to last A And I have been drunk now for over two weeks A I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks D A But I got stop wishing, got to go fishing, down to rock bottom again E A Just a few friends, just a few friends A D A E A A A Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call D D I’ve Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall A E A You've seen it all, you've seen it all A D A E A E A Just a few friends, just a few friends...
