I was in Dublin at the Temple Bar in early Novenber 2000, and I heard a trio (pipes, guitar, and drum) perform. The guitarist performed Bluenose and used these chords: f#- E f#- In the town of Lunenburg down Nova Scotia way f#- E In 1921 on a windy day b- f#- b- f#- A sailing ship was born, "Bluenose" was her name f#- E f#- You'll never see her kind again D E A f#- Bluenose, the ocean knows her name D E f#- Sailors know how proud a ship was she...

The guitarist used a capo on the 2nd fret to more easily play: e-,D,a-,C, and G
