verse 1 
        C  G       Am 
Take me back to my Western boat 
       C        D        G 
Let me fish off Cape St. Mary's 
          C        G 
Where the hogdowns sail 
        Am        F 
and the fog horns wail 
        C           D              G 
With my friends the Browns and the Clearys 
       F                 G 
Let me fish off Cape St. Mary's 

verse 2 
       C  G    Am 
Let me feel my dory lift 
       C     D        G 
To the broad Atlantic combers 
          C         G 
Where the tide rips swirl 
        Am         F 
and the wild ducks whirl 
          C       D         G 
Where Old Neptune calls the number 
           F              G 
'Neath the broad Atlantic combers 

verse 3 
       C  G    Am 
Let me sail up Golden Bay 
        C        D     G 
With my oilskins all a streamin' 
         C       G 
From the thunder squall 
       Am        F 
when I hauled me trawl 
           C    D     G 
And my old Cape Ann a gleamin' 
        F              G 
With my oilskins all a streamin' 

verse 4 
       C  G      Am 
Let me view that rugged shore 
          C        D     G 
Where the beach is all a-glisten 
         C       G 
With the caplin spawn 
           Am      F 
where from dusk to dawn 
    C         D         G 
You bait your trawl and listen 
       F          G 
To the undertow a-hissin' 

Verse 5 
       C   G      Am 
When I reach that last big shoal 
          C             D     G 
Where the ground swells break asunder 
          C          G 
Where the wild sands roll 
       Am      F 
to the surge's toll 
       C    D       G 
Let me be a man and take it 
        F             G 
When my dory fails to make it 

Verse 6 
        C  G         Am 
Take me back to that snug green cove 
          C         D        G 
Where the seas roll up their thunder 
      C      G 
There let me rest 
       Am           F 
in the earth's cool breast 
          C           D         G 
Where the stars shine out their wonder 
        F                  G 
And the seas roll up their thunder 

Verse 7 
        C  G       Am 
Take me back to my Western boat, 
       C        D        G 
Let me fish off Cape St. Mary's 
          C        G 
Where the hogdowns sail 
        Am        F 
and the fog horns wail 
        C           D              G 
With my friends the Browns and the Clearys 
       F                 G 
Let me fish off Cape St. Mary's
