[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G Mother, mother ocean
I have heard you call
We Cwanted to sail upon your waters
Since I was three feet tall
G 'Cause you've seen it all,Am D you've seen it all G
[Verse 2]
G I've watched the men who rode you
The switch from sails to steam
And Cin your belly you hold
The treasures few have ever seen
G Most of 'em dreams
Am D Most of 'em dreams G
[Verse 3]
G Oh, yes, I am a pirate
A few hundred years too late
The Ccannons don't thunder
There's nothin' to plunder
I'm an underforty victim of fate
G Arriving too late,Am D arriving too Glate
[Verse 4]
G I've done a bit of smugglin'
We live run my share of grass
I Cmade enough money to buy Miami
But I pissed it away so fast
G It's never meant to last,Am D it's never meant to last G
[Verse 5]
Well, GI have been drunk now for over two weeks
I've passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I've Cgot to stop wishin', I've got to go fishin'
Down to rock bottom again
G We just a few friends,Am D just a few friends G
We just a few friends,Am D just a few friends G
