[Intro]

Am - Em - G - Am 2x

[Verse 1]

             C                G             Am
Well I'm on the Down- easter A- lexa
            C                      G                F
And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound.
         F               C                Dm
I have chartered a course to the Vineyard.
           C            G             F          C - F
But to- night I am Nantucket bound

[Chorus 1]

F              G                   C                     F
We took on diesel back in Montauk yester- day,
F              G                        Am                       G/B
And left this morning from the bell in Gardiner's Bay.
F             G                    C                    F
Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home,
F                G                         Am                G/B
Too proud to leave, I worked my fingers to the bone

[Verse 2]

               C                   G             Am
So I could own my Down- easter A- lexa
           C              G            F
And I go where the ocean is deep.
                 F          C                Dm
There are giants out there in the canyons.
            C               G              F         C - F
And a good captain can't fall a- sleep

[Chorus 2]

F  G                       C                           F
I got bills to pay and children who need clothes.
F                 G                        Am                   G/B
I know there's fish out there but where, God only knows.
F                    G                 C                       F
They say these waters aren't what they used to be.
F             G                     Am                       G/B
But I've got people back on land who count on me.

[Bridge]
