Am G Once again with the tide she slips her lines F G Turns her head and comes awake Am G Where she lay so still there at Privateer's Wharf F Now she quickly gathers way C She will range far south E From the harbor mouth Am D And rejoice with every wave Am G F Who will know the Bluenose in the sun Am G Feel her bow rise free of mother sea F G In a sunburst cloud of spray Am That stings the cheek G While the rigging will speak F G Of sea miles gone away C E She is always best under full press Am D Hard over as she'll lay Am G F G Who will know the Bluenose in the sun Am G F Who will know the Bluenose in the sun D G The proud fast queen of the Grand Banks fleet C E Portrayed on every dime Am D Knew hard work in her time Am G D Hard work in every line D G The rich men's toys are the Gloucester boys C E With their token bit 'o cod Am G Am They snap their spars and strain to pass her by G D But she left them all behind Am G Now only her namesake daughter remains F G Am To show what she has been G What every schoolboy remembers F And will not come again C E To think she's the last of the Grand Banks schooners Am D That fed so many men Am G F G Who will know the Bluenose in the sun Am G F Who will know the Bluenose in the sun

Am So does she not take wing G Like a living thing F G Child of the moving tide Am See her fast swift grace G On the water's face F With gleamin' quiet pride C E Our own tall ship of great renown Am D Still lifts unto the sky Am G F G Who will know the Bluenose in the sun Am G F G Who will know the Bluenose in the sun Am G F Who will know the Bluenose in the sun Am G D know the Bluenose in the sun C G Am know the Bluenose in the sun
