Son Of A Son Of A Sailor by Jimmy Buffett
Son Of A Son Of A Sailor
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:3rd fret
[Intro]
E D A E E D A E
[Verse]
E
As the son of a son of a sailor
D A E
I went out on the sea for adventure
A E
Expanding the view of the captain and crew
B E
like a man just released from indenture
E
As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin' man
D A E
I have chalked up many a mile.
A E
Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks
B E
and I learned much from both of their styles.
[Chorus]
D A
Son of a son, Son of a son
E
Son of a son of a sailor
D A
Son of a gun, Load the last ton
E
One step ahead of the jailor
[Verse]
E
Now way in the near future,
D A E
Southeast of disorder
A E
You can shake the hand of the mango man
B E
As he greets you at the border
E
And the lady she hails from trinidad,
D A E
Island of the spices
A E
Salt for your meat, and cinnamon sweet
B E
And the rum is for all your good vices.
[Bridge]
D A
Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind
E
That our fore-fathers harnessed before us
D A
Hear the bells ring as the tight rigging sings
E
It's a son of a gun of a chorus
[Solo]
D A E
D A E
[Verse]
E
Now where it all ends, I can't fathom my friends
D A E
If I knew I might toss out my anchor
A E
So I'll cruise along always searching for songs
B E
Not a lawyer, a thief or a banker
[Chorus]
D A
But a son of a son, son of a son
E
Son of a son of a sailor
D A
Son of a gun, load the last ton
E
One step ahead of the jailor
[Outro]
D A
I'm just a son of a son, son of a son
E
Son of a son of a sailor
D A
The sea's in my veins, my tradition remains
E
I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer
