G

And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound.
      
F

I have chartered a course to the Vineyard.

G
               
Am

  And left this morning from the bell in Gardiner's Bay.
 
F
          
G
                
C

  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]

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.

F

[Chorus 2]
 
 
F
    
G
              
C

  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.

So when you see my Down- easter 
A-
 lexa
          
C
            
G
          
F
And if you work with the rod and the reel,
       
F
        
C
           
Dm
Tell my wife I am trolling At- lantis,
     
C

And I still have my hands on the wheel.

Now I drive my Down- easter 
A-
 lexa
        
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

And there's no luck in sword fishing here.

  Can't make a living as a bayman any-  more.

G
           
C

  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.
