Capo 1
 D   G   A   DX4
Chorus:
DTake the jib sail Gdown boys, Atake the jib sail Ddown
Turn this ship Garound boysA, before we run aDground
The Fish Aren't Biting GToday boys, AFish Aren't Biting DToday
I’m gonna lay on my bunk and get Gdrunk as a skunk
Cause The AFish Aren't Biting DToday.
There's Dsix-foot waves and my Gstomach craves
Some Agood old Antiguan Drum
I put some away for a Grainy day
And the Arain she's starting to Dcome now.
DThere's a northern wind and the Glights are dim
Like a Agood fresh Cuban Dcigar
I got me a hutch where there Gmight be a bunch
In the Acaptains pickle Djar.
Chorus:
 D   G   A   DX4
The Fish Aren't Biting GToday boys, AFish Aren't Biting DToday
I’m gonna lay on my bunk and get Gdrunk as a skunk
Cause The AFish Aren't Biting DToday.
