Official STAN ROGERS Tablature & Sheet Music »
Words & Music: Stan Rogers
Song: Bluenose
Tabbed By: Charlie H.
Intro: Am
Am G
Once again with the tide, she slips her lines,
F
Turns her head and comes awake,
Am G
Where she lay so still there at Privateers Wharf,
F
Now she quickly gathers way,
C Em
She will range far south of the harbour mouth, and
Am D
Rejoice with every wave,
Am C Am
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun.
Am G
Feel her bow rise free of Mother sea,
F
In a sunburst cloud of spray,
Am G
That stings the cheek, while the rigging will speak
F
Of sea miles gone away,
C Em
She is always best under full press,
Am D
Hard over as she'll lay.
Am C F
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun.
Am C F
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun.
Am C
The proud past queen of the Grand Banks fleet,
Em Am
Portrayed on every dime,
Em Am
Knew hard work in her time,
Em N/C
Hard work in every line.
Am C
The rich man's toys of the Gloucester boys,
Em Am
With their token bit of cod,
Am D G
They snapped their spars and strained to pass her by,
Em
But she left them all behind,
Am G
Now her namesake daughter remains,
F
To show what she has been.
Am G
What every school boy remembers, and
F
Will not come again,
C Em
To think she's the last of the Grand Bank schooners,
Am D
That fed so many men.
Am C F
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun.
Am C F
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun.
Break: Fiddle
Am C F
Am C D
Am C F
Am C D
Am G
So does she not take wing like a living thing,
F
Child of the moving tide,
Am G
See her pass with grace on the water's face,
F
With clean and quiet pride,
C Em
Our own tall ship of great renown,
Am D
Still lifts unto the sky.
Am C F
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun.
Am C F
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun.
Am
Know the Bluenose in the sun
Am Em Am
Know the Bluenose in the sun
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official STAN ROGERS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
