Lirik dan Chord Lagu The Downeaster Alexa - Billy Joel

                   C                  G              Am
So when you see my Down- easter A- lexa
                C                    G               F
And if you work with the rod and the reel,
            F          C               Dm
Tell my wife I am trolling At- lantis,
        C                    G              F
And I still have my hands on the wheel.

[Verse 3]

           C                 G              Am
Now I drive my Down- easter A- lexa
               C                   G               F 
More and more miles from shore ev'ry year,
                  F           C               Dm
Since they told me I can't sell no stripers.
                    C          G                 F
And there's no luck in sword fishing here.

[Chorus 3]

F          G                    C                  F
I was a bayman like my father was be- fore.
F                 G               Am          G/B
Can't make a living as a bayman any- more.
F                  G                     C                          F
There ain't much future for a man who works the sea.
F                       G                 Am               G/B
But there ain't no island left for islanders like me.
