Trawlermans Song by Mark Knopfler
Trawlermans Song
capo: 3
Intro: Am
Am
We're taking on water
D
Diesel and stores
G
Laying up awhile
C
Before I'm back on board
Am
They're patching her up
` D
To go fishing again
G
Fishing again
Am
They're welding her rudder
D
Scrubbing her keel
G
Scars on her belly
C
Need time to heal
Am
In the dock
B
With the trawlermen
Am
I know all the people
D
There's nobody new
G
Soon we'll be leaving
C
With the same old crew
Am
On the green water
D G
The tumbling sea
Am
They ain't running
D
Like the good old days
G
Time's just slipping
C
Down the old slipways
Am
In the dock
B
So dear to me
Am D G
Dark is the night
Em
I need a guiding light
G
To keep me
Em
From foundering
D
On the rocks
Am D G
My only prayer
Em
Is just to see you there
G
At the end
D
Of my wandering
G
Back in the dock
C Am D Bm Fmaj7
Em B F Em
Am
I could use a layoff
D
Getting my strength back
G
But there's a loan to pay off
C
And a few skipjack
Am
So it's a turnaround
D
Back in the southerly wind
G
Southerly wind
Am
Pirates coming in
D
To steal our gold
G
You can count yourself lucky
C
With a profit in the hold
Am
In the dock
B
When we come in
Am D G
Dark is the night
Em
I need a guiding light
G
To keep me
Em
From foundering
D
On the rocks
Am D G
My only prayer
Em
Is just to see you there
G
At the end
D
Of my wandering
G G7
Back in the dock
