 (finger picking)  rest  rest  rest  rest
 verse 1 finger picking
 Take me back to  my  western boat,
 Let me fish off  cape St.  Mary's
 where the hag downs  sail
 and the fog horns  wail
 with my friends
 the browns  and the cleary's
 let me fish  off cape St. Mary's
 Let me feel my dory lift
 to the broad Atlantic combers
 where the tide rips swirl
 and the wild ducks whirl
 where old Neptune calls the numbers
 'nethe the broad Atlantic combers
 verse 3 start strumming
 Let me sail up golden bay
 with my oilskins all a streamin'
 from the thunder squall
 when I hauled me trawl
 and my old cape Ann a gleamin'
 with my oilskins all a streamin
 let me view that rugged shore
 where the beaches all a-glisten
 with the caplin spawn
 where from dusk to dawn
 you bait your trawl and listen
 to the undertow a-hissin'
 when I reach that last big shoal
 where the ground swells break asunder
 where the wild sands role
 to the surges toll
 let me be a man and take it
 when my dory fails to make
 it take me back to that snug green cove
 where the seas roll up their thunder
  start picking
 there let me rest
 in the earth's cool breast
 where the stars shine out their wonder
 And the seas roll up their thunder
 Repeat first verse with strumming
 There ya go!!! dude
