[Verse 1]
        C          G        Am
Well I'm on the D own- easter Alexa
       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 tonight I am Nantucket bound

[Chorus 1]
F         G             C             F
 We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday,
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 Alexa
      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]
           C           G        Am
So when you see my Down- easter Alexa
          C            G          F
And if you work with the rod and the reel,
       F        C           Dm
Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis,
     C            G           F
And I still have my hands on the wheel.

[Bridge]
 Am  Em  G  Am
 Am  Em  G  Am
 Em  G   D  Em
 Am  Em  G  Am

[Verse 3]
     C            G         Am
Now I drive my Down- easter Alexa
        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 before.
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.

[Interlude]
       C  G  Am
Ya, ya, yaa aaa yo
       C  G  Am
Ya, ya, yaa aaa yo
       C  G  Am
Ya, ya, yaa aaa yo
       C  G  Am
Ya, ya, yaa aaa yo
