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 .

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
