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

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