Am D
We're taking on water, diesel and stores
G C
Laying up awhile before I'm back on board
Am
They're patching her up
D G
To go fishing again, fishing again
Am D
They're welding her rudder scrubbing her keel
G C
Scars on her belly need time to heal
Am
In the dock
B
With the trawlermen
Am D
I know all the people, there's nobody new
G C
Soon we'll be leaving with the same old crew
Am D G
On the green water the tumbling sea
Am D
They ain't running like the good old days
G C
Time's just slipping Down the old slipways
Am B
In the dock so dear to me
Am D G Em
Dark is the night, I need a guiding light
G Em
To keep me from foundering
D
On the rocks
Am D G Em
My only prayer is just to see you there
G D
At the end of my wandering
G G7
Back in the dock {Instrumental bridge} C Am D Bm F Em B B7 Em
Am D
I could use a layoff, getting my strength back
G C
But there's a loan to pay off and a few skipjack
Am
So it's a turnaround
D G
Back in the southerly wind
Am D
Pirates coming in to steal our gold
G C
You can count yourself lucky with a profit in the hold
Am B
In the dock when we come in
Am D G Em
Dark is the night, I need a guiding light
G Em
To keep me from foundering
D
On the rocks
Am D G Em
My only prayer is just to see you there
G D
At the end of my wandering
G G7
Back in the dock
