Bluenose 4/4 Stan Rogers
Standard Tuning No Capo Submitted by Ken Lee
Once a - [/]/ [Am]gain with the tide, she [/]/ [C]slips her lines,
Turns her [/]/ [C]head and comes a - [/]/ [Am]wake,
Where she [/]/ [Am]lay so still there at [/]/ [C]Privateers Wharf,
Now she [/]/ [F]quickly gathers [/]/ [Am]way,
She will [/]/ [Am]range far [/]/ south of the [/]/ [C]harbour mouth, and
Re - [/]/ [C]joice with every [/]/ [D]wave, [/]/ [/]/
[Am]Who will know the [/]/ [C]Bluenose in the [/]/ [F]sun. [/]/ [/]/
Feel her [/]/ [Am]bow rise free of [/]/ [C]Mother sea,
In a [/]/ [C]sunburst cloud of [/]/ [Am]spray,
That [/]/ [Am]stings the cheek, while the [/]/ [C]rigging will speak
Of [/]/ [F]sea miles gone a - [/]/ [Am]way,
She is [/]/ [Am]always best under [/]/ [C]full press,
Hard [/]/ [C]over as she'll [/]/ [D]lay. [/]/ [/]/
Chorus: @2
[Am]Who will know the [/]/ [C]Bluenose in the [/]/ [Am]sun, [/]/ [/]/
The [/]/ [Am]proud past queen of the [/]/ [C]Grand Banks fleet,
Port - [/]/ [C]rayed on every [/]/ [Am]dime,
Knew [/]/ [Am]hard work in her [/]/ [D]time,
Hard [/]/ [F]work in every [/]/ [Am]line.
The [/]/ [Am]rich man's toys o' the [/]/ [C]Gloucester boys,
With their [/]/ [C]token bit of [/]/ [Am]cod,
They [/]/ [Am]snapped their spars and [/]/ [C]strained to pass
her [/]/ [C]by,
But she [/]/ [F]left them all be - [/]/ [Am]hind,
Now her namesake [/]/ [D]daughter re - mains,
To [/]/ [F]show what she has [/]/ [Am]been.
What every [/]/ [C]school boy remembers, and
[F]Will not come a - [/]/ [Am]gain,
To [/]/ [Am]think she's the last of the [/]/ [C]Grand Bank schooners,
That [/]/ [Am]fed so many [/]/ [D]men. [/]/ [/]/
Chorus: @2
[Am]Who will know the [/]/ [C]Bluenose in the [/]/ [F]sun. [/]/ [/]/
Break: Fiddle
So does she [/]/ [Am]not take wing like a [/]/ [C]living thing,
[C]Child of the moving [/]/ [Am]tide,
See her [/]/ [Am]pass with grace on the [/]/ [C]water's face,
With [/]/ [F]clean and quiet [/]/ [Am]pride,
Our [/]/ [Am]own tall ship of [/]/ [C]great renown,
Still [/]/ [Am]lifts unto the [/]/ [D]sky. [/]/ [/]/
[Am]Who will know the [/]/ [C]Bluenose in the [/]/ [F]sun? [/]/
[Am]Who will know the [/]/ [C]Bluenose in the [/]/ [Am]sun? [/]/
[Am]Who will know the [/]/ [C]Bluenose in the [/]/ [Am]sun?
Know the [/]/ [C]Bluenose in the [/]/ [Am]sun, @ 3
