Chords for Billy Joel - The Downeaster "Alexa" (Audio)

[N] _ [Am] _ _ _ Well _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] I'm on the [G] _ Downeaster [Am] Elector _ _ And I'm [C] cruisin' through [G] Block Island [F] South
_ _ _ I have trotted [C] across to the [Dm]
vineyard _ _ But [C] tonight I [G] am pocket [F] _ bound _
_ _ _ _ I took [G] on diesel back in [C] Montauk [F] yesterday _ _ _ Left this [G] morning from [Am] the Vale in Gardner's [Bm] Bay
_ _ [F] Like all [G] the locals here I've [C] had to sell my [F] home
_ _ Too proud to [G] leave I worked [Am] my fingers to the [G] bone
So I could [C] own my [G] _ Downeaster [Am] Elector _ _ And I go where the [G] ocean is [F] deep _
_ There are giants [C] out there in [Dm] the canyons _ _ And a [C] good [G] captain can fall [F] asleep _ _ _ _ _ _
I got [G] bills to pay and [C] children who [F] need clothes
_ I know there's [G] fish out there [Am] but well God only [Bm] knows _
_ [F] They say [G] these waters are [C] what they used to [F] be
_ But I [G] got people back on [Am] land who count on [G] me
So if you see my _ Downeaster [Am] Elector _ _ _ And if you [C] work with the [G] rod and [F] the reel
_ _ Tell my wife I [C] am trolling _ [Dm] Atlantis _ _ And [C] I still have my [G]
hands on the [F] _ _ _ wheel _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Now I [C] drive my [G] _ Downeaster [Am]
Elector _ _ _ More and more miles [G] from shore every [F] _ year
_ Since they told me I [C] can't sell no [Dm] _ strippers _ And there's [C] no luck in [G] sword fishing [F] _
here
_ _ I _ was a [G] bayman like [C] my father was [F] before _ _ _ Can't make a [G] living as a [Am] bayman [Bm] anymore _ _
[F] _ There ain't much [C] future for a man who works the [F] sea
But there ain't no [G] island left for [Am] islanders like [G] me
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
