[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am7 We're taking on water D/F# Diesel and stores G Laying up awhile C Before I'm back on board Am They're patching her up D/F# To go fishing again G Fishing again Am7 They're welding her rudder D/F# Scrubbing her keel G Scars on her belly C Need time to heal Am In the dock B With the trawlermen
[Verse 2]
Am7 I know all the people D/F# There's nobody new G Soon we'll be leaving C With the same old crew Am On the green water D/F# G The tumbling sea Am7 They ain't running D Like the good old days G Time's just slipping C Down the old slipways Am In the dock B So dear to me
[Chorus]
Am7 D/F# G Dark is the night Em7 I need a guiding light G To keep me Em7 From foundering D/F# On the rocks Am7 D/F# G My only prayer Em7 Is just to see you there G At the end D/F# Of my wandering G G7 Back in the dock
[Instrumental]
C/G Am7 D/F# Bm Fmaj7
Em Em B7/F# F7 Em
[Verse 3]
Am7 I could use a layoff D/F# Getting my strength back G But there's a loan to pay off C And a few skipjack Am So it's a turnaround D/F# Back in the southerly wind G Southerly wind Am7 Pirates coming in D/F# To steal our gold G You can count yourself lucky C With a profit in the hold Am In the dock B When we come in
[Chorus]
Am7 D/F# G Dark is the night Em7 I need a guiding light G To keep me Em7 From foundering D/F# On the rocks Am7 D/F# G My only prayer Em7 Is just to see you there G At the end D/F# Of my wandering G G7 Back in the dock
