Jimmy Buffett - Son Of A Son Of A Sailor Chords

[Intro] 
G G F C G
G G F C G

       G
As the son of a son of a sailor
       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 indentured
     G
As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin' man
       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

    G
Now way in the near future,
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,
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 tide rigging sings
                         G
It's a son of a gun of a chorus

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

[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

[Chorus]
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
