[F#m] [Bm] [F#m]
[Bm] [F#m] [Bm]
The diamond [F#m] is a ship, me [G#] lads, For the Davis [F#m] Strait she's bound,
[Bm] And the key to [F#m] this old god-shit With the pony [Bm] lass is round.
Cabot Thompson [F#m] gave the order [Bm] To sail the [F#m] ocean wide,
[Bm] Where the sun it [F#m] never sets, My lads, the darkness [Bm] dims the [B] sky.
And it's cheering [Bm] up, me lads, Lady, your hearts never fail,
For the bonny ship the diamond goes, A-fishing for the whale.
And it's cheering up, me lads, Lady, your hearts never fail,
For the bonny ship the diamond goes, A-fishing for the whale.
Along [F#m] the quay in [Bm] Peterhead The lassies [F#m] stand around,
[Bm] With the shoals [F#m] of coal about them, And the salt [Bm] is running down.
Don't [F#m] you weep, me, me bonny [B] lass, Though you be [F#m] left behind,
For the rose will grow and green in size Before we change [B] our mind.
And [A] it's cheering up, [Bm] me lads, Lady, [A] your hearts never [Bm] fail,
For the [A] bonny ship the diamond [C#m] goes, A-fishing for [B] the whale.
And it's [A] cheering up, [Bm] me lads, Lady, your [A] hearts never [Bm] fail,
For the [A] bonny ship [Bm] the diamond [C#m] goes, A-fishing for [Bm] the whale.
His health in the [F#m] razzle is shying, [Bm] Like white steel [F#m] lies a swan.
His health in the brantler of Montrose, In the diamond ship of [Bm] fame.
We're rare, [F#m] the trousers of the [Bm] white, And the tickets [F#m] of the blue,
[Bm] When we [F#m] return to Peterhead, With us we'd [Bm] heard some [D] new.
And it's cheering [Bm] up, me lads, Lady, your hearts never fail,
[A] For the bonny ship [Bm] the diamond goes, A-fishing for the whale.
And it's cheering up, me lads, Lady, your hearts never fail,
[A] For the bonny ship [Bm] the diamond goes, A-fishing for the whale.
It'll be bright [F#m] both day and night, With the clean and less campaign,
With a ship that's full of oil, And the less of money [Bm] to unname.
We'll make the credits for the rock, And the blankets [F#m] for the tear,
[Bm] And every [F#m] lass in Peterhead Sing, Hush-a-bee, [Bm] my dear.
[A] And it's cheering up, [Bm] me lads, Lady, [A] your hearts never fail,
For the bonny ship the diamond goes, [F#m] A-fishing for the whale.
And [A] it's cheering [Bm] up, me lads, [A] Lady, your hearts never fail,
For the bonny ship the diamond goes, A [F#m]-fishing for the whale.
And it's [G#] cheering up, me lads, Lady, your hearts never fail,
For the bonny ship the diamond goes, A-fishing for the whale.
And it's [Bm] cheering up, me lads, Lady, your hearts never fail,
For the bonny ship the diamond [A] goes, A-fishing for the whale.
And it's cheering [B] up, me [D] lads, Lady, your hearts [Bm] never fail,
[A] For the bonny ship [B] the diamond goes, [A] A-fishing for [Bm] the whale.
