Pirate Looks At Forty Chords
A PIRATE LOOKS AT 40 – JIMMY BUFFETT
[G] Mother, mother ocean,
I have heard you call
[C] Wanted to sail upon your waters
since I was [D] three feet [G] tall
You've seen it [Am] all,
[Bm] you've seen [Am] it [G] all [C]-[G]
[G] Watched the men who rode you,
switch from sails to steam
[C] And in your belly you hold the treasures
[D] few have ever [G] seen
Most of 'em [Am] dream,
[Bm] most of [Am] 'Em [G] dream [C]-[G]
[G] Yes I Am A pirate,
two hundred years too late
[C] The cannons don't thunder,
there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty [D] victim of [G] fate
Arriving too [Am] late,
[Bm] arriving [Am] too [G] late
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jimmy_buffett/pirate_looks_at_forty_crd_ver_3.html ]
[G] I've done a bit of smugglin',
I've run my share of grass
[C] I made enough money to buy Miami,
but I pissed it [D] away so [G] fast
Never [Am] meant to last,
[Bm] never [Am] meant to [G] last [C]-[G]
[G] And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I [[ch]C [/ch]]got stop wishin', got to go fishin'
Down to [D] rock bottom [G] again
Just a few [Am] friends,
[Bm] just A [Am] few [G] friends
(instrumental) G C D G Am Bm G
[G] I go for younger women,
lived with several awhile
[C] Though I ran 'em away,
they'd come back one day
Still could [D] manage to [G] smile
Just [Am] takes a while,
[Bm] just Am takes A [G] while
[G] Mother, mother ocean,
after all the years I've found
C My occupational hazard being
my occupation's just [D] not [G] around
I feel like I've [Am] drowned,
[Bm] gonna [Am] head up [G] town
Coda:
I feel like I've [Am] drowned,
[Bm] gonna [Am] head up [G] town [C]-[G]
