A Pirate Looks At Forty Cifras

G
Mother mother ocean, I have heard you call
C                                          Bm7   Am7  G
Wanted to sail upon your water since I was three feet tall
G   Am7  Bm7 Am7  Bm7         G
You seen it  all, you seen it all
 
G
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sail to steam
    C                                         Bm7  Am7  G
And in your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
G    Am7 Bm7  Am7    Bm7          G
Most of  them dream, most of them dream
 
G
Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
    C
The cannons don't thunder there's nothin' to plunder
C                 Bm7    Am7 G
I'm an over forty victim of  fate
G   Am7  Bm7 Am7   Bm7         G
Arriving to  late, arriving to late
 
G
I done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass
  C                                               Bm7  Am7 G
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so  fast
G     Am7  Bm7 Am7   Bm7            G
Never meant to last, never meant to last
 
G
I have been drunk now for over two weeks, I passed out and
 
        I rallied and I smoked a few reefs
C                                                    Bm7   Am7 G
But I gotta stop wishin' I got to go fishin', down to Rock Bottom again
G   Am7 Bm7 Am7      Bm7        G
Just a  few friends, just a few friends
 
LEAD
 
G
I go for younger women, lived with several a while
         C                                                Bm7   Am7 G
Though I ran 'em away they come back one day, still could manage a smile
G    Am7  Bm7 Am7   Bm7          G
Just takes a while, just takes a while
 
G
Mother mother ocean, after all these years I've found
C                                        Bm7  Am7 G
Occupational hazzard beats an occupation just not around
G    Am7 Bm7 Am7      Bm7           G
Feel like I  drowned, gonna head up town
G    Am7 Bm7 Am7      Bm7           G
Feel like I  drowned, gonna head up town
