Intro: G F C G G F C G Verse: 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 travelin' 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 G One step ahead of the jailor Verse: G Now way in the near future, F C G 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. Bridge: F C Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind G That our fore-fathers harnessed before us F C Hear the bells ring as the tight rigging sings G It's a son of a gun of a chorus Solo: F C G F C G Verse: G Now 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 Chorus: F C But a 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 G One step ahead of the jailor Outro: F C I'm just a son of a son, son of a son G 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 This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
