Down easters alexa Billy Joel
Well I'm [C]on the Down[G]easter Ale[Am]xa
And I'm [C]cruising through [G]Block Island So[F]und.
I have [F]chartered a [C]course to the Vin[Dm]eyard.
But tonig[C]ht I am [G]Nantucket bound[F].[C] [F]
We took on [G]diesel back in [C/E]Montauk yesterday,[F]
And left this [G]morning from the be[Am]ll in Gardiner's Bay[G/B].[F]
Like all the l[G]ocals here I've [C/E]had to sell my h[F]ome,
Too proud to [G]leave, I worked my [Am]fingers to the bon[G/B]e
So I could [C]own my Down[G]easter Ale[Am]xa,
And I [C]go where the [G]ocean is de[F]ep.
There are [F]giants out [C]there in the can[Dm]yons.
And a go[C]od captain[G] can't fall asleep[F].[C] [F]
I got [G]bills to pay and [C/E]children who need cl,[F]
othes.
I know there'[G]s fish out there [Am]but where, God only knows[G/B].[F]
They say the[G]se waters aren't [Am]what they used to [G/B]be.
But I've got [G]people back on la[Am]nd who count on m[G/B]e.
So when you see my Downeaster Alexa,
And if you work with the rod and the reel,
Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis,
And I still have my hands on the wheel.

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