Billy Joel - Down easter alexa

Well I'm ^Gon the ^DDowneaster ^Em"Alexa" And I'm ^Gcruising through ^DBlock Island ^EmSound I have ^Ccharted a ^Gcourse to the ^AmVineyard But ^Gtonight I am ^DNantucket ^Embound

^CWe took on ^Ddiesel back in ^GMontauk ^Cyesterday ^CAnd left this ^Dmorning from the ^Gbell in Gardiner's ^DBay ^CLike all the ^Dlocals here I've ^Ghad to sell my ^Chome ^CToo proud to ^Dleave I worked my ^Gfingers to the ^Dbone

So I could ^Gown my ^DDowneaster ^Em"Alexa" And I ^Ggo where the ^Docean is ^Emdeep There are ^Cgiants out ^Gthere in the ^Amcanyons And a ^Ggood captain ^Dcan't fall ^Emasleep

^CI've got ^Dbills to pay and ^Gchildren who need ^Cclothes ^CI know there's ^Dfish out there ^Gbut where God only ^Dknows ^CThey say these ^Dwaters aren't ^Gwhat they used to ^Cbe ^CBut I've got ^Dpeople back on ^Gland who count on ^Dme

So if you ^Gsee my ^DDowneaster ^Em"Alexa" And if you ^Gwork with the ^Drod and the ^Emreel Tell my ^Cwife I am ^Gtrolling ^AmAtlantis And I ^Gstill have my ^Dhands on the ^Emwheel

Now I ^Gdrive my ^DDowneaster ^Em"Alexa" More and ^Gmore miles from ^Dshore every ^Emyear Since they ^Ctell me I ^Gcan't sell no ^Amstripers And there's ^Gno luck in ^Dswordfishing ^Emhere.

^CI was a ^Dbayman like my ^Gfather was ^Cbefore ^CCan't make a ^Dliving as a^G bayman ^Danymore ^CThere ain't much ^Dfuture for a ^Gman who works the ^Csea ^CBut there ain't no ^Disland left for ^Gislanders like ^Dme
