Jimmy Buffett 1974 7 -6 7 7 -8 8 7 -6 7 -8 8 Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call 7 7 -8 7 -6 7 -8 7 -6 wanted to sail upon your waters -5 7 7 -7 -6 6 since I was three feet tall 5 6 -6 -4 -6 -6 -6 6 you've seen it all, you've seen it all Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam and in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen most of em dream, most of em dream. Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years to late The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin to plunder I,m an over-forty victum of fate arriving to late, arriving to late. I'v done a bit of smugglin, I've run my share of grass I made enough money to buy miami, but I P***** it away so fast never meant to last, never meant yo last 8 8 8 8 -8 -8 -8 7 7 7 I have been drunk now for over two weeks 7 8 8 8 8 8 -8 -8 -8 -8 7 7 I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few 7 leaks -8 7 7 -6 7 -8 7 7 -6 7 -8 7 But I got to stop wishin, got to go fishin 7 7 -6 7 7 -7 -6 6 I'm down to rock bottom again 5 6 -6 -4 -6 6 -6 6 just a few friends, just a few friends. I go for younger women, lived with several awhile though I ran em away, they'd come back one day still could manage to smile just takes a while, just takes a while. Mother, mother ocean, after all the years I've found my occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around 4 5 6 -6 -4 6 6 -6 -6 6 I feel like I'v drowned, gonna head uptown. |
