Once a - / gai[/]n [Am]with the tide, she / slips her l[/]in[C]es,
Turns her / head[/] a[C]nd comes a - / wake,[/] [Am]
Where she / lay s[/]o [Am]still there at / Privateers[/] W[C]harf,
Now she / quick[/]ly[F] gathers / way,[/] [Am]
She will / ran[/]ge[Am] far / south[/] of the / harbour mou[/]th[C], and
Re - / j[/]oi[C]ce with every / wave, / /[/] [D] [/] [/]
[Am]Who will know the / Bluenose[/] i[C]n the / sun.[/] [F] [/] [/]
Feel her / bow[/] r[Am]ise free of / Mother s[/]ea[C],
In a / [/]su[C]nburst cloud of / spray,[/] [Am]
That / s[/]ti[Am]ngs the cheek, while the / rigging will [/]sp[C]eak
Of / [/]se[F]a miles gone a - / way,[/] [Am]
She is / a[/]lw[Am]ays best under / full pres[/]s,[C]
Hard / ov[/]er[C] as she'll / lay. / /[/] [D] [/] [/]

Hard / wo[/]rk[F] in every / line.[/] [Am]
The / r[/]ic[Am]h man's toys o' the / Gloucester [/]bo[C]ys,
With their / toke[/]n [C]bit of / cod,[/] [Am]
They / sn[/]ap[Am]ped their spars and / strained to pass[/] [C]
her / [/]by[C],
But she / left[/] t[F]hem all be - / hind,[/] [Am]
Now her namesake / daughter re - ma[/]in[D]s,
To / [/]sh[F]ow what she has / been.[/] [Am]
What every / school [/]bo[C]y remembers, and
[F]Will not come a - / gain,[/] [Am]
To / [/]th[Am]ink she's the last of the / Grand Bank[/] [C]
schooners,
That / fe[/]d [Am]so many / men. / /[/] [D] [/] [/]

Our / o[/]wn[Am] tall ship of / great [/]re[C]nown,
