Bluenose Stan Rogers
Stan Rogers - Bluenose
CREDIT GOES TO: Gary Hine
[Bbm]Once again with the tide she [Ab]slips her lines
Turns her h[F#]ead and comes awak[Ab]e
Where she [Bbm]lay so still there at [Ab]Privateer's Wharf
Now she qu[F#]ickly gathers way
She will r[Db]ange far south
From the h[F]arbor mouth
And r[Bbm]ejoice with every w[Eb]ave
[Bbm]Who will know the Bluenose [Ab]in the s[F#]un
[Bbm]Feel her bow rise free of m[Ab]other sea
In a su[F#]nburst cloud of spray[Ab]
That st[Bbm]ings the cheek
While the [Ab]rigging will speak
Of s[F#]ea miles gone away[Ab]
She is a[Db]lways best under f[F]ull press
Hard o[Bbm]ver as she'll l[Eb]ay
[Bbm]Who will know the Bluenose i[Ab]n the s[F#]un[Ab]
[Bbm]Who will know the Bluenose i[Ab]n the s[F#]un
The [Eb]proud fast queen of the G[Ab]rand Banks fleet
Portr[Db]ayed on every d[F]ime
Knew [Bbm]hard work in her [Eb]time
Hard [Bbm]work in [Ab]every [Eb]line
The r[Eb]ich men's toys are the [Ab]Gloucester boys
With their [Db]token bit 'o c[F]od
They [Bbm]snap their spars and [Ab]strain to pass her [Bbm]by
But she [Ab]left them all b[Eb]ehind
Now [Bbm]only her namesake d[Ab]aughter remains
To s[F#]how what she has been[Ab] [Bbm]
What every sch[Ab]oolboy remembers
And w[F#]ill not come again
To th[Db]ink she's the last of the G[F]rand Banks schooners
That [Bbm]fed so many [Eb]men
[Bbm]Who will know the Bluenose i[Ab]n the [F#]sun[Ab]
[Bbm]Who will know the Bluenose [Ab]in the s[F#]un
(break)
So does she [Bbm]not take wing
Like a l[Ab]iving thing
Child [F#]of the moving tide[Ab]
See her [Bbm]fast swift grace
On the wa[Ab]ter's face
With g[F#]leamin' quiet pride
Our o[Db]wn tall ship of g[F]reat renown
Still [Bbm]lifts unto the s[Eb]ky
[Bbm]Who will know the Bluenose [Ab]in the s[F#]un[Ab]
[Bbm]Who will know the Bluenose [Ab]in the s[F#]un[Ab]
[Bbm]Who will know the Bluenose [Ab]in the s[F#]un
know the Bl[Bbm]uenose [Ab]in the s[Eb]un
know the Bl[Db]uenose [Ab]in the s[Bbm]un
