[Chorus]
        D                         G          DThey’re passing the bottle in the Old Anchor Bar
      G                AAin’t no one goin’ out fishin’
           GThere’s an ill wind been a blowin’
D                             Em    A             DOver these docks and there’re storm clouds in the distance

[Verse 1]
    DOld Jack’s fished these waters for forty some years
        EmNow his sons and his daughters, they’re sharing his fears
         DThat the cannery’s closin’ in this little town
             Em                          G          A‘Cause there ain’t no more fish, and the prices are down

[Chorus]

      G                AAin’t no one goin’ out fishin’
           GThere’s an ill wind been a blowin’
D                             Em    A             DOver these docks and there’re storm clouds in the distance

[Verse 2]
     DSome say the big trollers took more than their share
     EmThey blame all the porters (?), been a fishing out there
DPoor regulation or pollution they claim
         Em                        G            AWhat the hell does it matter? It’s all just the same

[Chorus]
            D                         G          DWhen you’re passing the bottle in the Old Anchor Bar
      G                AAin’t no one goin’ out fishin’
           GThere’s an ill wind been a blowin’
D                             Em    A             DOver these docks and there’re storm clouds in the distance

[Verse 3]
    DNow proud fishing vessels silently lay
   EmIn harbor and dry dock where they rot and decay
DSeason to season untended they’ll stand
     Em                      G         A‘Til all become derelict, forgotten by men

[Chorus]
        D                         G          DWho are passing the bottle in the Old Anchor Bar
      G                AAin’t no one goin’ out fishin’
           GThere’s an ill wind been a blowin’
D                             Em    A             DOver these docks and there’re storm clouds in the distance

        D                         G          DThey’re passing the bottle in the Old Anchor Bar
      G                AAin’t no one goin’ out fishin’
           GThere’s an ill wind been a blowin’
D                             Em    A             DOver these docks and there’re storm clouds in the distance
