[D] The diamond [Am] is a ship, me [E] lads, For the day this [Am] fate she's found.
[D] The keg it [Am] is all garnished, But money [D] alas is round.
Captain Thompson [Am] gives the order [D] To sail the [Am] ocean wide,
[E] With the sun it [Am] never sets, me lads, Nor darkness [Dm] dims the sky.
And it's here, [A] yip, me lads, Let your hearts [Dm] never fail,
For the body [C] ship the diamond [G] goes, A-fishing [Dm] for the whale.
And it's here, yip, me lads, Let your hearts [A#] never fail,
[Dm] For the body [Em] ship the diamond [D] goes, A-fishing for the whale.
Along the [Am] keg it beats her [D] head, The lads who [Am] stand around,
[D] But ashore's all [Am] pulled about them, [D] And the salt is running down.
Oh don't you [Am] weep, my bonnie lad, [D] Though you'll be [Am] left behind,
[D] For the rose will [Am] grow and green, And [Dm] slice before we change our mind.
And it's here, yip, me lads, Let your hearts never fail,
For the body [Em] ship the diamond [D] goes, A-fishing [Dm] for the whale.
And it's here, yip, me lads, Let your hearts [A#] never fail,
[Dm] For the body [Em] ship the diamond [Dm] goes, A-fishing for the whale.
Here's the house of the resolution, [D] Like Dwight the [Am] Lazy Swan.
[D] Here's the house of the [Am] fat law, [D] Monroe's in the diamond ship for fame.
We wear the [Am] trousers of the [D] white, And the jackets of the blue,
When we [Am] return to Peterhead, [Dm] We'll have straight high shoe-do.
And it's here, yip, me lads, Let your hearts never fail,
For the body ship the diamond goes, A-fishing for the whale.
And it's here, yip, me lads, Let your hearts [A#] never fail,
[Dm] For the body [Am] ship the diamond [Dm] goes, A-fishing for the whale.
