Thread Name: Origin: The Bluenose
Subject: Lyr Add: BLUENOSE (from Ryan's Fancy)
I found this thread looking for the chords. I gave up and took a crack at figuring them out for myself, matching the Ryan's Fancy version.

BLUENOSE – RYAN'S FANCY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH3mEoY6tLo

Gm         Cm    F    Bb


Gm                   F                            Bb                  Gm
In the town of Lunenburg down Nova Scotia way
    Cm                                          F
In nineteen twenty-one on a windy day
      Gm                     F          Cm
A sailing ship was born, "Bluenose" was her name
             F                               Gm
You'll never see her kind again

{Refrain}
Gm       F          Bb                           Gm   
Bluenose, the ocean knows her name
Bb                            F                            Bb
Sailors know how proud a ship was she
Gm       F   Bb                     Gm
Bluenose, leading in the wind
Cm                F                   Gm
Racing ev'ry wave on the sea


Her hull was long and black, her sails were snowy white
She looked just like a young bird in flight
And from the very first, the Bluenose loved to run
She loved the smell of sea and sun
{Refrain}

For twenty-five long years she ruled the Northern sea
Riding like a queen on the tide
In the Caribbean one dark and stormy day
She ran into a reef and died
{Refrain}

Now just the other day, down Nova Scotia way
In Lunenburg they christened a ship
Just like the old Bluenose, down to the very name
The Bluenose lives and sails again
{Refrain}
