LAm RE
We're taking on water, diesel and stores
SOL DO
Laying up awhile before I'm back on board
LAm
They're patching her up
RE SOL
To go fishing again, fishing again
LAm RE
They're welding her rudder scrubbing her keel
SOL DO
Scars on her belly need time to heal
LAm
In the dock
SI
With the trawlermen
LAm RE
I know all the people, there's nobody new
SOL DO
Soon we'll be leaving with the same old crew
LAm RE SOL
On the green water the tumbling sea
LAm RE
They ain't running like the good old days
SOL DO
Time's just slipping Down the old slipways
LAm SI
In the dock so dear to me
LAm RE SOL MIm
Dark is the night, I need a guiding light
SOL MIm
To keep me from foundering
RE
On the rocks
LAm RE SOL MIm
My only prayer is just to see you there
SOL RE
At the end of my wandering
SOL SOL7
Back in the dock
DO LAm RE SIm FA MIm SI SI7 MIm
LAm RE
I could use a layoff, getting my strength back
SOL DO
But there's a loan to pay off and a few skipjack
LAm
So it's a turnaround
RE SOL
Back in the southerly wind
LAm RE
Pirates coming in to steal our gold
SOL DO
You can count yourself lucky with a profit in the hold
LAm SI
In the dock when we come in
LAm RE SOL MIm
Dark is the night, I need a guiding light
SOL MIm
To keep me from foundering
RE
On the rocks
LAm RE SOL MIm
My only prayer is just to see you there
SOL RE
At the end of my wandering
SOL SOL7
Back in the dock
DO LAm RE SIm FA MIm SI SI7 MIm SOL DO
LAm RE SIm FA MIm SI SI7 DO SI7 MIm SOL
