Intro: Am Am/G Fmaj7 G
[Am] [Am/G] [Fmaj7] [G]
Once [Am]again with the tide, she [Am/G]slips her lines,
Turns her [Fmaj7]head and comes awake[G]
Where she [Am]lay so still there at P[Am/G]rivateers Wharf,
Now she [Fmaj7]quickly gathers way,
Sh[G]e will r[C]ange far south of the h[E7]arbour mouth, and
Re[Am]joice with every [D]wave,[Dsus4] [D]
[Am]Who will know the [G]Bluenose in the [F]sun.[G]
Feel her bow rise free of Mother sea,
In a sunburst cloud of spray,
That stings the cheek, while the rigging will speak
Of sea miles gone away,
She is always best under full press,
Hard over as she'll lay.
[Am]Who will know the Bl[G]uenose in the [F]sun.[G]
[Am]Who will know the Bl[G]uenose in the s[Am]un.
The pr[D]oud past queen of the G[G]rand Banks fleet,
Por[C]trayed on every d[E7]ime,
Knew [Am]hard work in her [D]time,
Am N/C
Hard work in every line.
The [D]rich man's toys of the Gl[G]oucester boys,
With their [C]token bit of c[E7]od,
They [Am]snapped their spars and str[D]ained to pass her [G]by,
But she [E7]left them all behind,
Now her namesake daughter remains,
To show what she has been.
What every school boy remembers, and
Will not come again,
To think she's the last of the Grand Bank schooners,
That fed so many men.
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun.
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun.
Break:
[Am] [C] [F]
[Am] [C] [D]
[Am] [C] [F]
[Am] [C] [D]
So does she not take wing like a living thing,
Child of the moving tide,
See her pass with grace on the water's face,
With clean and quiet pride,
Our own tall ship of great renown,
Still lifts unto the sky.
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun.
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun.
Know the Bluenose in the sun
Know the Bluenose in the sun
