Bluenose
Am G
Once again with the tide she slips her lines
F G
Turns her head and comes awake
Am G
Where she lay so still there at Privateer's Wharf
F
Now she quickly gathers way
C
She will range far south
E
From the harbor mouth
Am D
And rejoice with every wave
Am G F
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun
Am G
Feel her bow rise free of mother sea
F G
In a sunburst cloud of spray
Am
That stings the cheek
G
While the rigging will speak
F G
Of sea miles gone away
C E
She is always best under full press
Am D
Hard over as she'll lay
Am G F G
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun
Am G F
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun
D G
The proud fast queen of the Grand Banks fleet
C E
Portrayed on every dime
Am D
Knew hard work in her time
Am G D
Hard work in every line
D G
The rich men's toys are the Gloucester boys
C E
With their token bit 'o cod
Am G Am
They snap their spars and strain to pass her by
G D
But she left them all behind
Am G
Now only her namesake daughter remains
F G Am
To show what she has been
G
What every schoolboy remembers
F
And will not come again
C E
To think she's the last of the Grand Banks schooners
Am D
That fed so many men
Am G F G
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun
Am G F
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun
(break)
Am
So does she not take wing
G
Like a living thing
F G
Child of the moving tide
Am
See her fast swift grace
G
On the water's face
F
With gleamin' quiet pride
C E
Our own tall ship of great renown
Am D
Still lifts unto the sky
Am G F G
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun
Am G F G
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun
Am G F
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun
Am G D
know the Bluenose in the sun
C G Am
know the Bluenose in the sun
