Rogers Stan - Bluenose guitar tab

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

(break)

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
