(Em)In the town of Lunenburg down (D)Nova Scotia (G)way

And you'll (Am)never see her (Bm)kind a(Em)gain -Em

(C)Blue(D)nose, the (G)ocean knows her (Em)name

(Am)Racing ev'ry (Bm)way on the (Em)sea -Em

For (Em)twenty-five long years she (D)ruled the Northern (G)sea

She (Am)ran upon a (Bm)reef and (Em)died -Em

Just (D)like the old Blue(G)nose, down (Bm)to the very (Em)name
The (Am)Bluenose lives and (Bm)sails a(Em)gain -Em
