A Pirate Looks at Forty (Jimmy Buffett)
[Verse 1]
G
Mother mother ocean, I have heard your call,
C G
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall,
Am D7 G
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
[Verse 2]
G
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sail to steam,
C G
And in your belly you hold the treasure, that few have ever seen,
Am D7 G
Most of them dreams, most of them dreams
[Verse 3]
G
Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late,
C
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder,
G
I'm an over-forty victim of fate,
Am D7 G
Arriving too late, arriving too late
[Verse 4]
G
I done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass,
C G
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast,
Am D7 G
Never meant to last, never meant to last
[Verse 5]
G
I have been drunk now for over two weeks,
G
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks,
C G
But I gotta stop wishin', gotta go fishin', I'm down to rock bottom again,
Am D7 G
Just a few friends, just a few friends
[Verse 6]
G
I go for younger women, lived with several a while,
C G
Though I ran 'em away they come back one day, still could manage a smile,
Am D7 G
Just takes a while, just takes a while
[Verse 7]
G
Mother mother ocean, after all these years I've found,
C G
My occupational hazard being, my occupation's just not around
Am D7 G
Feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown
Am D7 G
Feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown
