Heard about the old time sailor men
They eat the same thing again and again
Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead
Well it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn
But times change, sailors these days
When I'm in port I get what I need
Not just Havanas or bananas or daiquiris
But that American creation on which I feed

Cheeseburger in Paradise
Medium rare with mustard be nice
Heaven on Earth with an onion slice

>From "A White Sport Coat And A Pink Crustacean"
AHe went to Paris lookin' for answers
To Dquestions that bothered him Aso
He was impressive, young and aggressive
DSavin' the world on his E7own
But the Dwarm summer breezes
The AFrench wines and cheeses
DPut his ambition at bayE7
The Asummers and winters
Scattered like splinters
And Dfour or five E7years slipped aAway
Then he went to England, played the piano
And married an actress named Kim
They had a fine life, she was a good wife
And bore him a young son named Jim
And all of the answers and all of the questions
Locked in his attic one day
'Cause he liked the quiet clean country livin'
And twenty more years slipped away
Well the war took his baby, the bombs killed his lady
And left him with only one eye
His body was battered, his whole world was shattered
And all he could do was just cry
While the tears were a-fallin' he was recallin'
Answers he never found
So he hopped on a freighter, skidded the ocean
And left England without a sound
Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pilin's
And drinks his Green Label each day
Writing his memoirs, losin' his hearin'
But he don't care what most people say
Through eighty-six years of perpetual motion
If he likes you he'll smile and he'll say
"Jimmy, some of it's magic, some of it's tragic
But I had a good life all the way"
And Ahe went to Paris lookin' for answers

@SONG: Son Of A Son Of A Sailor
@CHORDS: Mike A. Hall ([email protected])
GAs the son of a son of a sailor
I went Fout on the Csea for adGventure
ExCpanding the view of the Gcaptain and crew
Like a Dman just released from inGdenture
As a Gdreamer of dreams and a traveling man
I have cFhalked up Cmany a Gmile
Read Cdozens of books about Gheroes and crooks
And I lDearned much from both of their sGtyles
Chorus:
FSon of a son, Cson of a son
Son of a son of a Gsailor
FSon of a gun, Cload the last ton
One step ahead of the Cjailer
Now away in the near future
Southeast of disorder
You can shake the hand of the Mango man
As he greets you at the boarder
And the lady she hails from Trinidad
Island of the spices
Salt for your meat and cinnamon sweet
And the rum is for all your good vices
HFaul the sheet in as we Cride on the wind
That our forefathers harnessed beGfore us
HFear the bells ring as the Ctide ringing sings
It's a son of a gun of a Gchorus
Where it all ends I can't fathom my friends
If I knew I might toss out my anchor
So I'll cruise along always searching for songs
Not a lawyer a thief or a banker
But the son of a son, son of a son
Son of a son of a sailor
Son of a gun, load the last ton
One step ahead of the jailer
I'm just a son of a son, son of a son
Son of a son of a sailor
The Fsea's in my veins, my tCradition remains
I'm just glad I don't live in a Gtrailer

Intro: G D A G D
DI took off for a wGeekend last month
Just to Atry and recall the whole Dyear
All of the faces and Gall of the places
WAonderin' where they all disaDppeared
BmI didn't ponder the F#mquestion too long
I was Ghungry and went out for a Abite
Ran Ginto a chum with a Dbottle of rum
and we Awound up drinkin' all Dnight
Chorus:
It's these Gchanges in latitudes, Dchanges in attitudes
NAothing remains quite the Dsame
With Gall of our running and Dall of our cunning
if Awe couldn't laugh we would Gall go inDsane
Reading departure signs in some big airport
Reminds me of the places I've been
Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure
Makes me want to go back again
If it suddenly ended tomorrow
I could somehow adjust to the fall
Good times and riches and son of a bitches
I've seen more than I can recall
Chorus:
These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
Through all of the islands and all of the highlands
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane
(Repeat Intro chords)
I think about Paris when I'm high on red wine
I wish I could jump on a plane
So many nights I just dream of the ocean
God I wish I was sailin' again
Oh, yesterday's over my shoulder
So I can't look back for too long
There's just too much to see waiting in front of me
And I know that I just can't go wrong
Chorus:
With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of my running and all of my cunning
If I couldn't laugh I just would go insane
If we couldn't laugh we just would go insane
If Awe weren't all crazy we Fwould Cgo inGsaneD A D

GMother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
CWanted to sail upon your waters since I was Dthree Am7feet Gtall
You've seen it aAmll, DyAm7ou've seen it aGll....
2)
Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
And in your belly you hold the treasure that few have ever seen
Most of them dreams, most of them dreams
3)
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late
4)
I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last
5)
I have been drunk now for over two weeks,
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks,
But I've got stop wishin', got to go fishin'
I'm down to rock bottom again,
Just a few friends, just a few friends...
6)
I go for younger women, lived with several awhile
And though I ran away, they'll come back one day
And I still can manage a smile.
It just takes a while, just takes a while
7)
Mother, mother ocean, after all these years I've found
My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown....

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 I learned much from both of their styles
Chorus:
F C
Son of a son, son of a son
G
Son of a son of a sailor
F C
Son of a gun, load the last ton
C
One step ahead of the jailer
Now away in the near future
Southeast of disorder
You can shake the hand of the Mango man
As he greets you at the boarder
And the lady she hails from Trinidad
Island of the spices
Salt for your meat and cinnamon sweet
And the rum is for all your good vices
F C
Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind
G
That our forefathers harnessed before us
F C
Hear the bells ring as the tide ringing sings
G
It's a son of a gun of a chorus
Where it all ends I can't fathom my friends
If I knew I might toss out my anchor
So I'll cruise along always searching for songs
Not a lawyer a thief or a banker
But the son of a son, son of a son
Son of a son of a sailor
Son of a gun, load the last ton
One step ahead of the jailer
I'm just a 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
G
I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer

Intro:
D G
I took off for a weekend last month
A D
Just to try and recall the whole year
G
All of the faces and all of the places
A D
Wonderin' where they all disappeared
Bm F#m
I didn't ponder the question too long
G A
I was hungry and went out for a bite
G D
Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum
A D
and we wound up drinkin' all night
Chorus:
G D
It's these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
A D
Nothing remains quite the same
G D
With all of our running and all of our cunning
A G D
if we couldn't laugh we would all go insane
Reading departure signs in some big airport
Reminds me of the places I've been
Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure
Makes me want to go back again
If it suddenly ended tomorrow
I could somehow adjust to the fall
Good times and riches and son of a bitches
I've seen more than I can recall
Chorus:
These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
Through all of the islands and all of the highlands
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane
(Repeat Intro chords)
I think about Paris when I'm high on red wine
I wish I could jump on a plane
So many nights I just dream of the ocean
God I wish I was sailin' again
Oh, yesterday's over my shoulder
So I can't look back for too long
There's just too much to see waiting in front of me
And I know that I just can't go wrong
Chorus:
With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of my running and all of my cunning
If I couldn't laugh I just would go insane
If we couldn't laugh we just would go insane
A F C G D A D
If we weren't all crazy we would go insane

And, honey, I didn't know, that I'd be missin' you so
Chorus:

Come Monday it'll be all right

Come Monday I'll be holdin' you tight
G Bm C D
I spent four lonely days in a brown L. A. haze
C D G
And I just want you back by my side
Yes, it's been quite a summer
Rent-a-cars and west-bound trains
And now you're off on vacation
Somethin' you tried to explain
And darlin', it's I love you so
That's the reason I just let you go
(Repeat chorus)

when we said there'd be no room for doubt
I hope you're enjoyin' the scen'ry
I know that it's pretty up there
We can go hikin' on Tuesday
With you I'd walk anywhere
California has worn me quite thin
I just can't wait to see you again
(Repeat chorus)
G Bm C D
I spent four lonely days in a brown L. A. haze

And I just want you back by my side...

G
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
C D Am7 G
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
Am D Am7 G
You've seen it all, you've seen it all....
2)
Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
And in your belly you hold the treasure that few have ever seen
Most of them dreams, most of them dreams
3)
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late
4)
I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last
5)
I have been drunk now for over two weeks,
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks,
But I've got stop wishin', got to go fishin'
I'm down to rock bottom again,
Just a few friends, just a few friends...
6)
I go for younger women, lived with several awhile
And though I ran away, they'll come back one day
And I still can manage a smile.
It just takes a while, just takes a while
7)
Mother, mother ocean, after all these years I've found
My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown....

Somebody sound the alarm

You pick the century and I'll pick the spot
But I know I should be leaving this climate
I've got a verse and can't rhyme it
I gotta go where it's warm
Boat drinks
Waitress, I need two more boat drinks
Then I'm heading south 'fore my dream shrinks
I gotta go where it's warm [I gotta go where it's]
I gotta go where it's warm [I gotta go where it's]
I gotta go where it's WARM!
