(G major) Mother, mother ocean,
I have heard you call

Verse 2
(G major) Watched the men who rode you
switch from sails to steam
And (C major) in your belly, you hold the treasures
few have ever (G major) seen
Most of 'em dream, (A minor)
(B minor) (A minor) most of 'em (G major) dream
Verse 3
(G major) Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The (C major) cannons don't thunder,
there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate (G major)
Arriving too (A minor) late,
(B minor) ar (A minor) riving too (G major) late
Verse 4
(G major) I've donе a bit of smugglin',
I've run my share of grass
I (C major) made еnough money to buy Miami,
but I pissed it away so (G major) fast
Never meant to (A minor) last,
(B minor) never (A minor) meant to (G major) last
Verse 5
And (G major) I have been drunk now
for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied
and I sprung a few leaks
But I (C major) got to stop wishin', got to go fishin'
Down to rock bottom again (G major)
Just a few (A minor) friends,
(B minor) (A minor) just a few (G major) friends

Verse 6
(G major) I go for younger women,
lived with several awhile
Though I (C major) ran 'em away,
they'd come back one day
Still could manage to smile (G major)
Just takes a (A minor) while,
(B minor) (A minor) just takes a (G major) while
Outro 1
(G major) Mother, mother ocean,
after all the years I've found
My (C major) occupational hazard being
my occupation's just not around (G major)
I feel like I've (A minor) drowned,
(B minor) gonna (A minor) head up (G major) town
I feel like I've (A minor) drowned,
(B minor) gonna (A minor) head up (G major) town
(A minor) (B minor) (A minor)
