Start Jamming...
The [G] diamond is a ship, me lads, from Greenland she is bound,
And the key it is so garnished with vanilla sea-smell.
Captain gives the orders to sail the ocean wide,
And the sun it never sets, me lads, our darkness fills the sky.
So cheer up, my lads, let your heart never fade,
For the bonnie ship, the diamond, go fishing far away.
Along the quay of Peterhead, the lassies stand about,
Put their shawls around their heads, and the salt-tree's running down.
[Gm] I'll never greet my bonnie lad, although I'm [G] left behind,
For there's not a rose in Greenland's ice to make you change your mind.
[Dm] So cheer [Gm] up, my lads, let your heart never fade,
[Bb] For the bonnie ship, the [D] diamond, go fishing [Gm] far away.
[D]
[G] Here's a hug to the resolution, likewise the Eliza's song,
Here's to the butler of Montrose and the diamond ship of fame.
[Bb] We'll wear the [Am] trousers of the [Bb] white, jackets [C] of the blue,
[Dm] And when we return to Peterhead, we'll find that we've been true.
So cheer [G] up, my lads, let your heart [Gm] never fade,
[Bb] For the bonnie [A] ship, the diamond, [D] go fishing [G] far away.

It'll be a bright boat day and night when the Greenland lads come home,
With their ship full of oily lads and money to their name.
We'll make the quays port of lock, bank and fort of tear,
And every lass in Peterhead sing hush-a-bye, my dear.
[Dm] So [Gm] cheer up, my lads, let your heart never fade,
[Bb] For the [Am] bonnie ship, the diamond, [D] go fishing far away.
So [Gm] cheer up, my lads, let your heart never fade,
