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
