[Intro 1]

[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Mother, mother ocean,
well I have heard you call
[C]Wanted to sail upon your waters
Since I was three feet [G]tall
'Cause you've seen it [Am]all,[D]
you've seen it [G]all

[Verse 2]
[G]Watched the men who rode you
Switch from sails to steam
And [C]in your belly you hold the treasures
That few have ever [G]seen
Most of 'em [Am]dreams[D]
Most of 'em [G]dreams

[Solo 1]

[Verse 3]
[G]Yes, I am a pirate
A few hundred years too late
The [C]cannons don't thunder
There's nothin' to plunder
I'm an under-forty victim of [G]fate
Arriving too [Am]late, [D]arriving too lat[G]e

[Verse 4]
[G]I've done a bit of smugglin'
I've run my share of weed
And I've [C]made enough money to buy Miami
But I pissed it away so [G]fast
It's never meant to [Am]last,[D]
It's never meant to [G]last

[Solo 2]
[G][G][G][G]
[C][C][C][G]
[Am][D][G][G]

[Verse 5]
Well [G]I have been drunk now,
for over two weeks
I've passed out and I rallied,
and I sprung a few leaks
But I've [C]got to stop wishin',
I've got to go fishin'
Down to rock bottom [G]again
Just a few [Am]friends,[D]
just a few [G]friends
Just a few [Am]friends,[D]
just a few [G]friends
