[Verse 1]
D A Bm
Well I'm on the Downeaster Alexa
D A G
And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound.
G D Em
I have chartered a course to the Vineyard.
D A G D G
But tonight I am Nantucket bound
[Chorus 1]
G A D/F# G
We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday,
G A Bm A/C#
And left this morning from the bell in Gardiner's Bay.
G A D/F# G
Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home,
G A Bm A/C#
Too proud to leave, I worked my fingers to the bone
[Verse 2]
D A Bm
So I could own my Downeaster Alexa
D A G
And I go where the ocean is deep.
G D Em
There are giants out there in the canyons.
D A G D G
And a good captain can't fall asleep
[Chorus 2]
G A D/F# G
I got bills to pay and children who need clothes.
G A Bm A/C#
I know there's fish out there but where, God only knows.
G A D/F# G
They say these waters aren't what they used to be.
G A Bm A/C#
But I've got people back on land who count on me.
[Bridge]
D A Bm
So when you see my Downeaster Alexa
G D Em G
And if you work with the rod and the reel,
G D Em
Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis,
D A G
And I still have my hands on the wheel.
[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
D A Bm
Now I drive my Downeaster Alexa
D A G
More and more miles from shore ev'ry year,
G D Em
Since they told me I can't sell no stripers.
D A G
And there's no luck in sword fishing here.
[Chorus 3]
G A D/F# G
I was a bayman like my father was before.
G A Bm A/C#
Can't make a living as a bayman anymore.
G A D/F# G
There ain't much future for a man who works the sea.
G A Bm A/C#
But there ain't no island left for islanders like me.
[Interlude]
D A Bm
Ya, ya, yaa aaa yo
D A Bm
Ya, ya, yaa aaa yo
D A Bm
Ya, ya, yaa aaa yo
D A Bm
Ya, ya, yaa aaa yo
