_ [Db] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ [Bbm] Once again with the tide, she [Bb] slips her lines, [Gb] turns her head and comes away. _
[Ab] _ [Bbm] Where she lay so still, there a _ privateer's wharf, [Gb] now she quickly gathers way. _
[Db] She will arrange far south [F] from the [F] harbor mouth, [Bbm] and rejoice with [Eb] every _ wave.
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] Oh, who will know the blue nose and the sun?
With _ _ bitter bower eyes free of mother sea, [Db] in a sunburst cloud of spray.
_ [Ab] That [Bbm] stings the cheek, [Ab] while the rigging will speak [Db] of sea miles gone away.
_ She is [Ab]
always best [F] under full bolts, [F] hard over as [Eb] she'll lay. _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ [Bbm] Oh, who will know the blue [Ab] nose and [Db] the sun? _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bbm] _ Oh, who will know the blue [Ab] nose and [Bbm] the sun? _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] Proud fast queen of the Grand Banks fleet, [Db] portrayed on [F] every dime. _
_ [Bbm] New hard work in [Eb] her time, _ [F] hard [Bbm] work [Bb] in every [Bbm] line.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
Rich man's [Ab] toys of the Gloucester boys, with their token bit of [F] cod.
_ [Bbm] They snap their [Eb] spars and strain to pass her by, _ [F] but she left them all [Bbm] behind.
Now a namesake daughter remains, to [Db] show what she has been.
_ _ [Ab] _ _
What every [Ab] school boy remembers, [Db] and will not come again.
_ To think she's the [Fm] last of the [F] Grand Banks schooners, [Bbm] that fed so [Eb] many men. _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [F] Oh, who [Bbm] will know _
_ [Db] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] the [Bbm] _ _ _ blue [Ab] nose and the [Bbm] sun? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

[Bb] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bbm] Does she not take wing like a living thing, _ [Gb] child of the moving tide? _
[Bbm] See her pass with grace, on the water's face, in [Db] a clean and quiet pride. _
[Bb] Now her own tall ship of [F] great [Bbm] renown, still lifts unto [Eb] the sky. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Oh, who will know the blue [Ab] nose and [Gb] the sun?
