Son Of A Son Of A Sailor Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

G F C G

 As the Gson of a son of a sailor

 I went oFut on the sea Cfor adventGure

 exCpanding the view of the capGtain and crew

 like a man Djust released from indenGture

As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin' man,

 I have chaFlked up mCany a mile

 Read Cdozens of books about Gheroes and crooks,

 and I've learned mDuch from both of their sGtyles

F/GSon of a son C/Gson of a son sn of a con of a saiGlor

FSon of a gun load Cthe last ton One step a head of the Gjailer

Now away in the near furture

southeast of disorder

you can shake the hand of the mango man

as he greets you at the border

And the lady she hails from trinidad,

island of the spices

Salt for you meat and cinamon sweet

and the rum if for all you dood vices

Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind that our

forefathers harnessed before us

Hear the bells ring as the tide rigging sings.

It's a son of a gun of a chorus

GWhen it all ends I can't fathom my friends

 If I knew FI might Ctoss out my Ganchor

 So CI'll cruse a long always Gsearching

 for song not a Dlawyer a thief or a Gbanker

Ending Twice:

 but a F/Gson of a son C/Gson of a son

-- son of a son son of a son

 son of a son of a Gsalior

son of a son of a salior

FSon of a gun Cload the last ton

The sea's in my veins; my tradition remains

 one step ahead of the jGailer

I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer

Sure do. Nevada's new maintainers will most likely be getting the

rest of the stuff that I had unsuccessfully been trying to send for a

while. BTW, there is THE Buffett archive in case you all might want

to check it out. It's available via anonymous FTP at the Ventura site

located at Ball State. It's address is:

They also have compiled lyrics to all albums by name. FTP there and poke

around...

Sorry for the chatter; here's the music...

Son Of A Son Of A Sailor

By Jimmy Buffett

 AGs the son of a son of a sailor

 IF went out onC the sea foGr adventure

 LDike a man just released frGom indenture

 AGs a dreamer of dreams and a traveling man

 IF have chalkCed up maGny a mile

 RCead dozens of books aboGut heroes and crooks

 ADnd I learned much from both of thGeir styles

Chorus

  F Son of a soCn, son of a son

  G Son of a son of a sailor

  F Son of a guCn, 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 Haul the sheet in asC we ride on the wind

  G That our forefathers harnessed before us

  F Hear the bells ring as Cthe 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 The sea's in my veinCs, my tradition remains
