Bluenose Lyrics And Guitar Chords By The Irish Rovers

Use a capo on the 4th fret to play along to the Irish Rovers an their album Tall Ships & Salty Dogs. The sheet music notes for tin whistle are included in the key of D. Guitar chords by Marc. The song was also recorded by Ryans Fancy and ​The Original Houghton Weavers. Ryan's Fancy covered a lot of songs that are favorites of mine including the song twenty one years .

Intro: Em-Em-Em-Em

(Em)In the town of Lunenburg down (D)Nova Scotia (G)way
In (Em)nineteen twenty-one on a windy (Am)day
A (D)sailing ship was (G)born and the (Bm)"Bluenose" was her (Em)name
And you'll (Am)never see her (Bm)kind a(Em)gain -Em

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

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

Now (Em)just the other day, down (D)Nova Scotia (G)way

The (Am)Bluenose lives and (Bm)sails a(Em)gain -Em
