_ _ Taking on the [F] water, diesel and stars, [Bb] laying up a while before [Eb] I'm back on board.
[Bb] [Cm] They're patching her up _ to go fishing [F] again, fishing [Bb] again.
_ _ [Cm] _ Welding her rudder, _ [F]
scrubbing her keel, [Bb] _ scars on her belly [Eb] need time to heal in [Cm] the dark. _ _ _
The [D] trawler man, _ _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] I know all the people, [F] there's nobody new.
_ [Bb] Soon we'll be leaving [Eb] with the same old crew [Cm] on the greener water. _
The tumbling [F] sea, _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [Cm] they ain't running [F] like the good old days.
[Bb] Time's just slipping [Eb] down the old step ways [Cm] in the dark. _ _ _
_ So [D] deep to me, _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ dark as [F] the night, _ _ [Bb] _ _ I [Gm] need a guiding light [Bb] to keep me _ [Gm] from foundering on [F] the rocks. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ My [F] only prayer _ is [Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] just to see you there [Bb] at the end of [F] my wandering back [Bb] in the dark. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _

_ La [Ab] la la la, _ _ _ la [Gm] la la la, _ _ _ la [D] la la la, _ [Ab] _
_ [Gm] la la la la, la la la la, la la la la. _
_ _ _ [Cm] I could use a lay off [F] getting my strength back, [Bb] but there's a loan to pay off [Eb] and a few skid checks.
So [Cm] it's a turn around back in the southern [F] wind, southern [Bb]
rain.
_ _ [Cm] _ Pirates coming in [F] to steal our gold
[Bb] You can count yourself lucky [Eb] with a profit in the hold [Cm] in the dark _ _ _
When we [D] come in, _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ dark as [F] the night
_ _ [Bb] _ _ I [Gm] need a guide and a light [Bb] to keep me _ [Gm] from foundering
Oh, [F] _ _ my _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [F] holy prayer
_ _ [Bb] _ _ It's [Gm] just to see you there [Bb] at the end
Of [F] my wandering [Bb] back in the _ dark _
