[Intro]
D, C, G, D D, C, G, D,
[Verse]
D
As the son of a son of a sailor
C G D
I went out on the sea for adventure
G D
Expanding the view of the captain and crew
A D
like a man just released from indentured
D
As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin' man
C G D
I have chalked up many a mile.
G D
Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks
A D
and I learned much from both of their styles.
[Chorus]
C G
Son of a son, Son of a son
D
Son of a son of a sailor
C G
Son of a gun, Load the last ton
D
One step ahead of the jailor
[Verse]
D
Now way in the near future,
C G D
Southeast of disorder
G D
You can shake the hand of the mango man
A D
As he greets you at the border
D
And the lady she hails from trinidad,
C G D
Island of the spices
G D
Salt for your meat, and cinnamon sweet
A D
And the rum is for all your good vices.
[Bridge]
C G
Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind
D
That our fore-fathers harnessed before us
C G
Hear the bells ring as the tide rigging sings
D
It's a son of a gun of a chorus
[Solo]
C, G, D
C, G, D
[Verse]
D
Now where it all ends, I can't fathom my friends
C G D
If I knew I might toss out my anchor
G D
So I'll cruise along always searching for songs
A D
Not a lawyer, a thief or a banker
[Chorus]
C G
But a son of a son, son of a son
D
Son of a son of a sailor
C G
Son of a gun, load the last ton
D
One step ahead of the jailor
[Outro]
C G
I'm just a son of a son, son of a son
D
Son of a son of a sailor
C G
The sea's in my veins, my tradition remains
D
I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer
