[Verse 1]
We're tAmaking on water dD/F#iesel and stores
GLaying up awhile before I'm Cback on board
They're Ampatching her up to go fishing agaiD/F#n
Fishing agGain
They're wAmelding her rudder, D/F#scrubbing her keel
GScars on her belly need Ctime to heal
In the dAmock with the trawlermBen
[Verse 2]
I Amknow all the people, there's nD/F#obody new
GSoon we'll be leaving with the Csame old crew
On the gAmreen water
The tumbling D/F#sea G
Am They ain't running like the D/F#good old days
GTime's just slipping down the Cold slipways
In the dAmock so dear to mBe
[Chorus]
Am Dark is the nDight
G And I need a guEmiding light to keep Gme
From fEmoundering on the rDocks
Am My only prDayer
G Is just to sEmee you there at the eGnd
Of my Dwandering back in the dGock G7

[Verse 3]
AmI could use a layoff getting mD/F#y strength back
But there's aG loan to pay off and a fCew skipjack
So it's a tAmurnaround back in the southerly wD/F#ind
Southerly wGind
Am Pirates coming in toD/F# steal our gold
You can cGount yourself lucky with a pCrofit in the hold
In the dAmock when we come Bin
[Chorus]
Am Dark is the nDight
G And I need a guEmiding light to keep Gme
From foundEmering on the rDocks
Am My only prDayer
G Is just to sEmee you there at the eGnd
Of my Dwandering back in the dGock G7
