Billy Joel - The Downeaster Alexa chords with lyrics

Am _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ G _ Am _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ Em _ _ Am _ .
_ _ _ _ _ C Well I'm on _ G _ Easter _ .
Am Alexa, _ _ _ _ and C I'm cruising G through Blog Island F _ South.
_ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ I'm headed C _ across to Dm the vineyard, _ _ _ but C tonight _ G I'm _ _ pocket F bound.
_ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ We took G on diesel back in C Montauk _ F yesterday.
_ _ .
_ _ _ Left this G morning from Am the Vale in G Gardner's Bay.
_ _ .
F Like _ all G the locals here, C I've had to sell my F home.
_ _ _ Too G proud to leave, I worked Am my fingers to Bm the bone,.
so I C could own my G down _ Easter Am Alexa.
_ _ _ _ .
And C I know _ G the ocean F is deep.
_ _ _ .
There are jars _ _ C _ _ .
in Dm the _ canyons, _ _ _ and a C good captain G can F fall asleep.
_ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ I G got bills to pay, and C children who need F _ .
clothes.
_ I know G lessons aren't fair, F but well God G only knows.
_ F _ They say G these waters are C in what they used F to be.
_ _ But I G got people back Am on land who count G on me.
So if you C see my G down Easter _ Am Alexa,.
_ _ and if C you work with G the rod and F the reel, _ _ _ .
tell my wife _ C I'm trolling _ Dm _ Atlantis, _ _ _ .
and C I still have G my hands on F the _ _ wheel.
_ _ .
_ _ D _ _ _ _ _ _ .
G _ _ Am _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ Dm _ _ _ _ _ _ .
G _ _ Am _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ Em _ _ _ A _ _ _ Em _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ Am _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ G _ .
_ _ Am _ _ _ _ _ .
C Now I drive _ G down Easter Am Alexa, _ _ _ _ .
more and C more miles G from shore F every _ year.
_ _ .
Since they told me C I can't sell no Dm _ _ stripers, _ _ .
and C there's no luck G in sword fishing F _ here.
_ _ _ _ .
_ _ I was G a bay man like C my father was F before.
_ .
_ _ _ Can't G make a living as Am a bay man G anymore.
_ _ .
_ F _ There ain't G much future for C a man who works the F sea.
_ .
_ But there ain't G no island left Am for _ islanders G like me.
_ .
_ C _ _ _ _ G _ _ _ .
_ Am _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ C _ _ _ _ G _ _ _ .
_ Am _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ C _ _ _ _ G _ _ _ .
_ Am _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ C _ _ _ _ G _ _ _ .
_ Am _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
