A Pirate Looks At Forty Uke tab by Jack Johnson

G
Mother mother ocean I have heard you call
     C                                                      G
I've wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
               Am7
You've seen it all 
Am6            G
You've seen it all

G
Watched the men who rode you switch from sail to steam
    C                                                       G
And in your belly you hold the treasures that few have ever seen
             Am7
Most of them dreams 
Am6          G
Most of them dreams

Interlude/Solo: same chords

G
Yes I am a pirate a few hundred years too late
    C                                                                            G
The cannons don't thunder there's nothing to plunder I'm an over forty victim of fate
              Am7
Arriving too late 
Am6          G
Arriving too late

G
I've done a bit of smuggling I've run my share of weed
C                                                           G
I've made enough money to buy Miami but I've pissed away to fast
             Am7
Never met to last 
Am6          G
Never met to last

G
I have been drunk now for over two weeks I've passed out and I've rallied and I've sprung a few leaks
     C                                                             G
I've got to stop wishing got to go fishing I'm done to rock bottom again
                Am7
With just a few friends 
Am6        G
Just a few friends

# extra verse:

G
Mother mother ocean after all these years I've found
C                                                      G  
My occupational hazard being my occupations just not around
                    Am7
I feel like I've drowned
Am6           G
Gonna head up town
