Am                               D 
We're taking on water, diesel and stores  
G                           C 
Laying up awhile before I'm back on board  
Am 
They're patching her up  
               D              G 
To go fishing again, fishing again 
Am                            D                    
They're welding her rudder scrubbing her keel  
G                       C 
Scars on her belly need time to heal  
       Am 
In the dock B With the trawlermen Am D I know all the people, there's nobody new G C Soon we'll be leaving with the same old crew Am D G On the green water the tumbling sea Am D They ain't running like the good old days G C Time's just slipping Down the old slipways Am B In the dock so dear to me Am D G Em Dark is the night, I need a guiding light G Em To keep me from foundering D On the rocks Am D G Em My only prayer is just to see you there G D At the end of my wandering G G7 Back in the dock {Instrumental bridge} C Am D Bm F Em B B7 Em Am D I could use a layoff, getting my strength back G C But there's a loan to pay off and a few skipjack Am So it's a turnaround D G Back in the southerly wind Am D Pirates coming in to steal our gold G C You can count yourself lucky with a profit in the hold Am B In the dock when we come in Am D G Em Dark is the night, I need a guiding light G Em To keep me from foundering D On the rocks Am D G Em My only prayer is just to see you there G D At the end of my wandering G G7 Back in the dock
