Words & Music: Stan Rogers
Song: Bluenose
Tabbed By: Charlie H.
Intro: Am
Once [Am]again with the tide, she [G]slips her lines,
Turns her [F]head and comes awake,
Where she [Am]lay so still there at [G]Privateers Wharf,
Now she [F]quickly gathers way,
She will [C]range far south of the [Em]harbour mouth, and
Re[Am]joice with every [D]wave,
[Am]Who will know the [C]Bluenose in the [Am]sun.
Feel her [Am]bow rise free of [G]Mother sea,
In a [F]sunburst cloud of spray,
That [Am]stings the cheek, while the [G]rigging will speak
Of [F]sea miles gone away,
She is [C]always best under [Em]full press,
Hard [Am]over as she'll [D]lay.
[Am]Who will know the [C]Bluenose in the [F]sun.
[Am]Who will know the [C]Bluenose in the [F]sun.
The [Am]proud past queen of the [C]Grand Banks fleet,
Por[Em]trayed on every [Am]dime,
Knew [Em]hard work in her [Am]time,
Em N/C
Hard work in every line.
The [Am]rich man's toys of the [C]Gloucester boys,
With their [Em]token bit of [Am]cod,
They [Am]snapped their spars and [D]strained to pass her [G]by,
But she [Em]left them all behind,
[Am]Now her namesake [G]daughter remains,
To [F]show what she has been.
[Am]What every [G]school boy remembers, and
[F]Will not come again,
[C]To think she's the last of the [Em]Grand Bank schooners,
That [Am]fed so many [D]men.
[Am]Who will know the [C]Bluenose in the [F]sun.
[Am]Who will know the [C]Bluenose in the [F]sun.
Break: Fiddle

[Am] [C] [D]
So does she [Am]not take wing like a [G]living thing,
Child [F]of the moving tide,
See her [Am]pass with grace on the [G]water's face,
With [F]clean and quiet pride,
Our [C]own tall ship of [Em]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 [F]sun.
Know the Bluenose in the [Am]sun
[Am]Know the [Em]Bluenose in the [Am]sun
