              / Am                              / C

Once a - / gain with the tide, she / slips her lines,

                / C                             / Am

Turns her / head and comes a - / wake,

                 / Am                         / C

Where she / lay so still there at / Privateers Wharf,

               / F                       / Am

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.



              / Am                    / C

Feel her / bow rise free of / Mother sea,

       / C                          / Am

In a / sunburst cloud of / spray,

        / Am                                      / C

That / stings the cheek, while the / rigging will speak

     / F                           / Am

Of / sea miles gone a - / way,

          / Am                        / C

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,



       / Am                                / C

The / proud past queen of the / Grand Banks fleet,

          / C                      / Am

Port - / rayed on every / dime,

          / Am                      / D

Knew / hard work in her / time,

         / F                   / Am

Hard / work in every / line.



       / Am                               / C

The / rich man's toys o' the / Gloucester boys,

                 / C                 / Am

With their / token bit of / cod,

         / Am                                     / C

They / snapped their spars and / strained to pass

      / C

her / by,

              / F                         / Am

But she / left them all be - / hind,

                                   / D

Now her namesake / daughter re - mains,

     / F                               / Am

To / show what she has / been.

                    / C

What every / school boy remembers, and

F                           / Am

Will not come a - / gain,

     / Am                                     / C

To / think she's the last of the / Grand Bank

schooners,

         / Am                / D      / /

That / fed so many / men. / /



Chorus: @2

Who will know the / Bluenose in the / sun./ /

Break:      Fiddle

                       / Am                            / C

So does she / not take wing like a / living thing,

C                               / Am

Child of the moving / tide

               / Am                                 / C

See her / pass with grace on the / water's face

         / F                        / Am

With / clean and quiet / pride

       / Am                    / C

Our / own tall ship of / great renown,

        / Am               / D    / /

Still / lifts unto the / sky./ /

 Am                         / C                        / F       /

Who will know the / Bluenose in the / sun? /

Who will know the / Bluenose in the / sun? /

Who will know the / Bluenose in the / sun?

Know the / Bluenose in the / sun, @ 3 ?
