[F] [Bb]
[Cm] I'm taking on the [F] water, dealing the storm, [Bb]
laying up a while [Eb] before I'm back on [Cm] board.
They're patching the rock to go fishing [F]
again.

[Cm]
Welding a rudder, [F] scrubbing a keel, [Bb]
scars on her belly [Eb] need time to heal [Cm] in the dark.
With her [D] trolling me, [Cm] I know all the people, [F] severed a few.
[Bb]

[Cm]
I could use a way of [F] getting my strength back, [Bb] but there's a loan to pay off [Eb] if you skip jack.
So [Cm] it's a turn around, back in the [F] southerly wind.
[Bb] [Cm]
Pirates coming in [F] to steal our gold, you [Bb] can count yourself lucky [Eb] with a profit in a hole [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 on [F] a wall.
