Son Of A Son Of A Sailor - Jimmy Buffett | Guitar Chords | VChords

[Intro]
---------------------
G | F | C | G 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
F C G       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
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 (1)]
---------------------
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 jailer

[Verse 2]
---------------------
     G
Now away 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 greats you at the border
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

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
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 tight rigging sings
                            G
It's a son of a gun of a chorus

[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
---------------------
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 cruise along always searchin' for songs
         D                   G
Not a lawyer a thief or a banker

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
      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 jailer
           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
