Mark Knopfler
The Trawlerman's Song 
(Album: Shangri-La)

capo: 3

Intro: Am


Am
We're taking on water
D
Diesel and stores 
G
Laying up awhile 
           C
Before I'm back on board 
        Am
They're patching her up 
`             D   
To go fishing again 
        G  
Fishing again
Am
They're welding her rudder 
D
Scrubbing her keel 
G
Scars on her belly 
     C
Need time to heal 
       Am
In the dock
                B
With the trawlermen 


Am
I know all the people
        D 
There's nobody new
G 
Soon we'll be leaving 
         C
With the same old crew 
       Am
On the green water
             D    G
The tumbling sea 


Am
They ain't running
         D 
Like the good old days
G
Time's just slipping 
         C
Down the old slipways 
       Am
In the dock 
           B
So dear to me 



Am          D      G
Dark is the night 
         Em
I need a guiding light 
   G
To keep me 
     Em
From foundering 
       D
On the rocks 
Am      D     G
My only prayer 
           Em
Is just to see you there 
       G
At the end 
      D
Of my wandering 
            G    
Back in the dock 


C Am D Bm Fmaj7 
Em B F Em


Am
I could use a layoff 
        D
Getting my strength back 
    G
But there's a loan to pay off 
      C
And a few skipjack 
          Am
So it's a turnaround 
                      D     
Back in the southerly wind
          G
Southerly wind

Am
Pirates coming in 
   D
To steal our gold 
        G
You can count yourself lucky
       C 
With a profit in the hold
       Am
In the dock 
             B
When we come in 


Am          D    G
Dark is the night 
         Em
I need a guiding light 
   G
To keep me 
     Em
From foundering 
       D
On the rocks 
Am      D     G
My only prayer 
           Em
Is just to see you there 
       G
At the end 
      D
Of my wandering 
            G    G7
Back in the dock


C Am D Bm Fmaj7 
Em B F Em G

C Am D Bm Fmaj7 
Em B F C B Em G

C Am D Bm Am 
Em B F Em
