Am D
We're taking on water, diesel and stores
G CLaying up awhile before I'm back on board
They're patching her up
D GTo go fishing again, fishing again
Am DThey're welding her rudder scrubbing her keel
Scars on her belly need time to heal
AmIn the dock
BWith the trawlermen
I know all the people, there's nobody new
G CSoon we'll be leaving with the same old crew
Am D GOn the green water the tumbling sea
They ain't running like the good old days
G CTime's just slipping Down the old slipways
Am BIn the dock so dear to me
Am D G Em
Dark is the night, I need a guiding light
To keep me from foundering
DOn the rocks
Am D G EmMy only prayer is just to see you there
At the end of my wandering
G G7Back in the dock
C Am D Bm F Em B B7 Em
Am D
I could use a layoff, getting my strength back
But there's a loan to pay off and a few skipjack
AmSo it's a turnaround
D GBack in the southerly wind
Pirates coming in to steal our gold
G CYou can count yourself lucky with a profit in the hold
Am BIn the dock when we come in
Am D G Em
Dark is the night, I need a guiding light
To keep me from foundering
DOn the rocks
Am D G EmMy only prayer is just to see you there
At the end of my wandering
G G7Back in the dock
C Am D Bm F Em B B7 Em G C
