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

Post-Chorus:
   C Am
La...
   D Bm

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
