None of them
Covered by Jack Johnson A Pirate Looks at 40 Tabbed by:Matt Jones Jack Johnson's version is faithful to the original in terms of chord progression, but instead of a full band playing (and strumming the chords) it's just Jack and his guitar. One of the main differences in the two versions is Jack leaves off the last two verses (finishes with "just a few friends") wheras Jimmy keeps going. Any way you square it though, this is a great song and easy to play.

In other words, I hope the parrotheads won't hold it against me for what they perceive to be errors ;-). G Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call C G I've wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall Am D You've seen it all, G you've seen it all I've watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen Most of 'em dreams, most of 'em dreams Yes I am a pirate, a few hundred years too late The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder I'm an under-forty victim of fate Arriving too late, arriving too late I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast Never meant to last, never meant to last And I have been drunk now for over two weeks I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks But I got stop wishin', got to go fishin' Down to rock bottom again with just a few friends, with just a few friends *** This is where Johnson's version ends. Buffett adds an instrumental here and then continues on with: I go for younger women, lived with several awhile Though I ran 'em away, they'd come back one day Still could manage to smile Just takes a while, just takes a while Mother, mother ocean, after all the years I've found My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown
