We're taking on water Diesel and stores Laying up awhile Before I'm back on board AmDG
They're patching her up To go fishing again Fishing again
AmDG
They're welding her rudder Scrubbing her keel Scars on her belly CAmB
Need time to heal In the dock With the trawlermen
AmDG
I know all the people There's nobody new Soon we'll be leaving CAmDG
With the same old crew On the green water The tumbling sea
AmDG
They ain't running Like the good old days Time's just slipping CAmB Down the old slipways In the dock So dear to me
AmDGEm Dark is the night I need a guiding light GEmD
To keep me From foundering On the rocks
AmDGEm
My only prayer Is just to see you there GDG At the end Of my wandering Back in the dock
CAmDBmFmaj7EmBFEm Ahh~~~~~
AmDG
I could use a layoff Getting my strength back But there's a loan to pay off CAm And a few skipjack So it's a turnaround DG Back in the southerly wind Southerly wind
AmDG
Pirates coming in To steal our gold You can count yourself lucky CAmB
With a profit in the hold In the dock When we come in
AmDGEm Dark is the night I need a guiding light GEmD
To keep me From foundering On the rocks
AmDGEm
My only prayer Is just to see you there GD At the end Of my wandering GG7 Back in the dock
