Trawlermans Song

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
Continúa después del anuncio
         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

[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
