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

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