/ LAm / DO
Once a - / gain with the tide, she / slips her lines,

Now she / quickly gathers / way,
/ LAm / / DO
She will / range far / south of the / harbour mouth, and
/ DO / RE / /
Re - / joice with every / wave, / /
LAm / DO / FA / /
Who will know the / Bluenose in the / sun. / /
/ LAm / DO
Feel her / bow rise free of / Mother sea,
/ DO / LAm
In a / sunburst cloud of / spray,
/ LAm / DO
That / stings the cheek, while the / rigging will speak
/ FA / LAm
Of / sea miles gone a - / way,
/ LAm / DO
She is / always best under / full press,
/ DO / RE / /
Hard / over as she'll / lay. / /

To / show what she has / been.

With / clean and quiet / pride,
/ LAm / DO
Our / own tall ship of / great renown,

Still / lifts unto the / sky. / /
