[Verse 1]
C D G
4 o'clock in the morning,
Em D G
a new days beginning to clear.
C Em
The fishing boats dance on the dawning,
C D G
The Ranger pulls out from the pier.
C Em
We've said goodbye to the ones we love,
C D G
Back on the shore.
C Em
Got tanks full of diesel, got ice in the hold,
C D G
We're ready once more.
[Chorus]
C D G
And the tide runs hard through the Blackhole,
C
And the crew go below for a sleep.
G
I pick out the lights that don't matter,
C G D
we're bound where the ocean is deep.
C D G
It's 7 long hours to the Stanton,
C
but the Rangers well fit for the trip.
G Em
A couple of tows round the banks and we'll have,
C D G
90 boxes of fish in the ship.

[Verse 2]
C D G
Now I come from seafaring people,
Em D G
now I've worked the sea all my life.
C Em
Can mend, I can splice, I'm a Skipper,
C D G
I'll put surgeons to shame with a knife.
C Em
It's all that I know and there's no other place,
C D G
that I'd rather be,
C Em
than rolling around on the top of the waves,
C D G
The Ranger and me.
[Chorus]
C D G
And the tide runs hard through the Blackhole,
C
And the crew go below for a sleep.
G
I pick out the lights that don't matter,
C G D
we're bound where the ocean is deep.
C D G
It's 7 long hours to the Stanton,
C
but the Rangers well fit for the trip.

A couple of tows round the banks and we'll have,
