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

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