artist : stan rogers title : bluenose chords : Am/G = 3x2210 Fmaj7 = 133210 E7 = 012230 or 010200 Dsus4 = xx0233 intro : Am Am/G Fmaj7 G Am Am/G Fmaj7 G Am Am/G once again with the tide , she slips her lines , Fmaj7 G turns her head and comes awake Am Am/G where she lay so still there at privateers wharf , Fmaj7 now she quickly gathers way , G C E7 she will range far south of the harbour mouth , and Am D Dsus4 D rejoice with every wave , Am G F G who will know the bluenose in the sun . 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 G F G who will know the bluenose in the sun . Am G Am who will know the bluenose in the sun . D G the proud past queen of the grand banks fleet , C E7 portrayed on every dime , Am D knew hard work in her time , Am n/C hard work in every line . D G the rich man’s toys of the gloucester boys , C E7 with their token bit of cod , Am D G they snapped their spars and strained to pass her by , E7 but she 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
