Аккорды Billy Joel - The Downeaster Alexa

[Intro]
 
 Am - Em - G - Am        2x
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
        C           G        Am
Well I'm on the Down- easter A- lexa
       C              G            F
And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound.
      F          C            Dm
I have chartered a course to the Vineyard.
       C         G       F       C - F
But to- night I am Nantucket bound 
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
 F         G             C             F
  We took on diesel back in Montauk yester- day,
 F            G               Am               G/B
  And left this morning from the bell in Gardiner's Bay.
 F          G                C             F
  Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home,
 F           G                 Am            G/B
  Too proud to leave, I worked my fingers to the bone
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
          C          G         Am
So I could own my Down- easter A- lexa
      C          G       F
And I go where the ocean is deep.
         F        C            Dm
There are giants out there in the canyons.
     C           G            F      C - F
And a good captain can't fall a- sleep 
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
 F    G              C                 F
  I got bills to pay and children who need clothes.
 F             G                 Am             G/B
  I know there's fish out there but where, God only knows.
 F            G            C                 F
  They say these waters aren't what they used to be.
 F          G              Am               G/B
  But I've got people back on land who count on me.
 
 
[Bridge]
 
           C           G        Am
So when you see my Down- easter A- lexa
          C            G          F
And if you work with the rod and the reel,
       F        C           Dm
Tell my wife I am trolling At- lantis,
     C            G           F
And I still have my hands on the wheel.
 
 
[Instrumental Bridge]
 
 Am - Em - G - Am        2x
 Em - G - D - Em
 Am - Em - G - Am
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
     C            G         Am
Now I drive my Down- easter A- lexa
        C              G         F
More and more miles from shore ev'ry year,
          F        C            Dm
Since they told me I can't sell no stripers.
           C         G            F
And there's no luck in sword fishing here.
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
 F      G             C             F
  I was a bayman like my father was be- fore.
 F           G           Am        G/B
  Can't make a living as a bayman any-  more.
 F               G           C                F
  There ain't much future for a man who works the sea.
 F                 G              Am            G/B
  But there ain't no island left for islanders like me.
