Intro:
Am  A11  Am  Am
Am  Am  Am  Am

Verse:
     Am               D/F#
We're taking on water diesel and stores
G                           C
Laying up awhile before I'm back on board
        Am                                D/F#
They're patching her up to go fishing again
             G
Fishing again

Verse:
        Am                 D/F#
They're welding her rudder, scrubbing her keel
G                       C
Scars on her belly need time to heal
        Am                      B
In the dock with the trawlermen

Verse:
  Am                  D/F#
I know all the people, there's nobody new
G                              C
Soon we'll be leaving with the same old crew
        Am
On the green water
             D/F#     G
The tumbling sea

Verse:
Am                             D/F#
   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

Chorus:
Am                   D
   Dark is the night
G                 Em                  G
   And I need a guiding light to keep me
          Em                D
From foundering on the rocks
Am               D
   My only prayer
G              Em                   G
   Is just to see you there at the end
      D                      G     G7
Of my wandering back in the dock

Verse:
Am                            D/F#
I could use a layoff getting my strength back
             G                       C
But there's a loan to pay off and a few skipjack
           Am                                  D/F#
So it's a turnaround back in the southerly wind
              G
Southerly wind

Verse:
Am                     D/F#
   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

Chorus:
Am                   D
   Dark is the night
G                 Em                  G
   And I need a guiding light to keep me
          Em                D
From foundering on the rocks
Am               D
   My only prayer
G              Em                   G
   Is just to see you there at the end
      D                      G     G7
Of my wandering back in the dock
