              / A5                              / C5
Once a - / gain with the tide, she / slips her lines,
                / C5                             / A5
Turns her / head and comes a - / wake,
                 / A5                         / C5
Where she / lay so still there at / Privateers Wharf,
               / F5                       / A5
Now she / quickly gathers / way,
              / Am          /                    / C
She will / range far / south of the / harbour mouth, and
        / C                        / D        / /
Re - / joice with every / wave, / /
Am                          / C                       / F     / /
Who will know the / Bluenose in the / sun.

              / A5                    / C5
Feel her / bow rise free of / Mother sea,
       / C5                          / A5
In a / sunburst cloud of / spray,
        / A5                                      / C5
That / stings the cheek, while the / rigging will speak
     / F5                           / A5
Of / sea miles gone a - / way,
          / A5                        / C5
She is / always best under / full press,
         / C                    / D    / /
Hard / over as she'll / lay. / /

Chorus: @2
Am                          / C                       / Am   / /
Who will know the / Bluenose in the / sun,

       / A5                                / C5
The / proud past queen of the / Grand Banks fleet,
          / C5                      / A5
Port - / rayed on every / dime,
          / A5                      / D5
Knew / hard work in her / time,
         / F5                   / A5
Hard / work in every / line.

       / A5                               / C5
The / rich man's toys o' the / Gloucester boys,
                 / C5                 / A5
With their / token bit of / cod,
         / A5                                     / C5
They / snapped their spars and / strained to pass
      / C5
her / by,
              / F5                         / A5
But she / left them all be - / hind,
                                   / D5
Now her namesake / daughter re - mains,
     / F5                               / A5
To / show what she has / been.
                    / C5
What every / school boy remembers, and
F5                           / A5
Will not come a - / gain,
     / A5                                     / C5
To / think she's the last of the / Grand Bank
schooners,
         / Am                / D      / /
That / fed so many / men. / /

Chorus: @2
Am                          / C                        / F     / /
Who will know the / Bluenose in the / sun./ /
Break:      Fiddle
                       / A5                            / C5
So does she / not take wing like a / living thing,
C5                               / A5
Child of the moving / tide
               / A5                                 / C5
See her / pass with grace on the / water's face
         / F5                        / A5
With / clean and quiet / pride
       / A5                    / C5
Our / own tall ship of / great renown,
        / Am               / D    / /
Still / lifts unto the / sky./ /
 A5                         / C5                        / F5       /
Who will know the / Bluenose in the / sun? /
 A5                         / C5                        / A5   /
Who will know the / Bluenose in the / sun? /
 A5                         / C5                        / A5
Who will know the / Bluenose in the / sun?
                / C5                        / A5
Know the / Bluenose in the / sun, @ 3 ?
