_ _ Taking on the water, [F]
diesel and stars, [Bb] laying up a while before [Eb] I'm back on board.
[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, _ _ _ with the trawler [D] man, _ _ _ _ _ _ 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 green, I wanna _ _ tumble [F] in the sea.
_ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ Ain't running [F] like the good old days, [Bb] times just slipping [Eb] down the old streetways [Cm] in the dark. _ _ _
_ So [D] deep to me, _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ dark as [F] the night, _ _ [Bb] _ and I [Gm] need a guiding light [Bb] to keep me _ [Gm] from foundering on [F] the rocks.
_ My _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [F] only prayer, _ [Bb] _ _ is [Gm] just to see you there [Bb] at the end of [F] my wandering back [Bb] in the dark. _ _ _

_ _ _ [Cm] I could use a layoff, [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 turnaround _ back in the southern [F] wind
Southern [Bb]
wind _ _ [Cm] _ Pirates coming in [F] to steal our gold
[Bb] You can count yourself lucky [Eb] with a profit and a hold [Cm] in the dark _ _
When we [D] come in, _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ dark as [F] the night _ _ [Bb] _ And I [Gm] need a guide and a light
[Bb] To keep me _ [Gm] from foundering _ _ [F] home _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ My [F] only prayer _ _ [Bb] _ _ is [Gm] just to see you there
[Bb] At the end of [F] my wandering [Bb] back in the dark _ _
