[A] A diamond is [N] a ship, me lads, for the divest right [G] she's bound,
[Am] And the kit is [Eb] all garnished with [E] the bone [B] me lass [Am] is round.
Captain [G] Thompson gives the orders [Am] to sail the [B] whole world wide,
[Am] While the sun it [Em] never sets, me [E] lads, and the darkness [A] dims the skies.
[Em] And it's cheer [A] up, me lads, [Ab] let your hearts never fail,
For a bonny ship it iron goes, rushing [Am] for the wind.
Along the [E] keard, Peter head, where the [Eb] lassies stand [E] around,
With the shores all cold about, and man the salt is running [A] down.
Now don't you [Eb] weep, me bonny lass, or we leave you behind,
[Am] For the rose will grow [G] on Greenland's [E] banks before we change [A] your mind.
And [Am] it's cheer up, me lads, let your hearts never fail,
For a bonny ship it iron goes, rushing for the wind.
Here's a help to [Eb] the resolution, likewise the Eliza swan,
Here's an help to the battle of the [E] Montalos, and the diamond [A] ship of faith.
We wear the [Eb] trousers of the white, and the jackets of the blue,
When we come home to Peter [E] head, we'll have [Ab] sweethearts and you.
And it's cheer up, me lads, let your hearts never fail,
For a bonny ship it iron goes, rushing for the wind.
[A] It'll be [Ab] bright both day and [Db] night, when the Greenland lads come home,
With a [Ab] ship that's full of oil, me lads, and [Abm] money of [Am] our own.
We'll make the [G] cradles for to rock, [Am] and the blankets for [G] to tear,
And every lass in Peter head [Ab] sings ush of I'm [Am] a dear.
And [Eb] it's cheer up, [A] me lads, let [F] your hearts never fail,
For a bonny ship it [A] iron goes, [E] rushing for [F] the wind.
