LAm SOL
Once again with the tide she slips her lines
FA SOL
Turns her head and comes awake
LAm SOL
Where she lay so still there at Privateer's Wharf
FA
Now she quickly gathers way
DO
She will range far south
MI
From the harbor mouth
LAm RE
And rejoice with every wave
LAm SOL FA
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun
LAm SOL
Feel her bow rise free of mother sea
FA SOL
In a sunburst cloud of spray
LAm
That stings the cheek
SOL
While the rigging will speak
FA SOL
Of sea miles gone away
DO MI
She is always best under full press
LAm RE
Hard over as she'll lay
LAm SOL FA SOL
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun
LAm SOL FA
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun
RE SOL
The proud fast queen of the Grand Banks fleet
DO MI
Portrayed on every dime
LAm RE
Knew hard work in her time
LAm SOL RE
Hard work in every line
RE SOL
The rich men's toys are the Gloucester boys
DO MI
With their token bit 'o cod
LAm SOL LAm
They snap their spars and strain to pass her by
SOL RE
But she left them all behind
LAm SOL
Now only her namesake daughter remains
FA SOL LAm
To show what she has been
SOL
What every schoolboy remembers
FA
And will not come again
DO MI
To think she's the last of the Grand Banks schooners
LAm RE
That fed so many men
LAm SOL FA SOL
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun
LAm SOL FA
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun
(break)
LAm
So does she not take wing
SOL
Like a living thing
FA SOL
Child of the moving tide
LAm
See her fast swift grace
SOL
On the water's face
FA
With gleamin' quiet pride
DO MI
Our own tall ship of great renown
LAm RE
Still lifts unto the sky
LAm SOL FA SOL
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun
LAm SOL FA SOL
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun
LAm SOL FA
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun
LAm SOL RE
know the Bluenose in the sun
DO SOL LAm
know the Bluenose in the sun
