Son Of A Son Of A Sailor Uke tab by Jimmy Buffett

G
As the son of a son of a sailor

       F          C         G
I went out on the sea for adventure

 C                           G
Expanding the view of the captain and crew

       D                        G
Like a man just released from indenture

 G
As a dreamer of dreams and a traveling man

         F         C      G
I have chalked up many a mile

      C                      G
Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks

      D                              G
And learned much from both of their styles

 F             C                                G
Son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor

 F              C
Son of a gun, load the last ton

 C                      G
One step ahead of the jailer

 G                             F      C      G
Now way in the near future, southeast of disorder

          C                     G
You can shake the hand of the mango man

        D                G
As he greets you at the border

 G                   
And the lady she hails from Trinidad

 F      C       G
Island of the spices

 C                        G
Salt for your meat, and cinnamon sweet

         D                        G
And the rum is for all your good vices

 F                       C                                               G
Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind that our forefather harnessed before us

 F                         C
Hear the bell ring as the tide rigging sings

 C                          G
It's the son of a gun of a chorus

 G 
Where it all ends, I can't fathom my friends

       F           C           G
If I knew I might toss out my anchor

     C                        G
So I'll cruise along always searching for songs

        D                  G
Not a lawyer a thief or a banker

       F             C                               G
But a son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor

 F             C
Son of a gun, load the last ton

 C                     G
One step ahead of the jailer

              F             C                               G
I'm just the son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor

    F                        C
The sea's in my veins, my tradition remains

          C                      G
I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer
