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 Privateer's Wharf
        Fmaj7           G
Now she quickly gathers way
          C                       E7
She will range far south from the harbor mouth,
  Am               D    Dsus4 D
rejoice with every wave

Am                G               F    G
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun

         Am                      Am/G
Feel her bow rise free of mother sea
          Fmaj7           G
In a sunburst cloud of spray
     Am                         Am/G
That stings the cheek while the rigging will speak
   Fmaj7           G
Of sea miles gone away
       C                      E7
She is always best under full press
     Am             D    Dsus4 D
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 fast 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 men's toys of the Gloucester boys
           C            E7
With their token bit 'o cod
     Am                      D                    G
They snapped their spars and strained to pass her by
        E7
But she left them all be-

Am                    Am/G
hind Now her namesake daughter remains
   Fmaj7                 G
To show what she has been
Am            Am/G
   What every schoolboy remembers
    Fmaj7              G
And will not come again
   C                           E7
To think she's the last of the Grand Bank schooners
     Am          D    Dsus4 D
That fed so many men
Am                G               F    G
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun
Am                G               Am
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun

Child of the moving tide
