Verse:
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD
Well, the bonnie ship was a good old ship
A minorAm E MajorE
She was a-fishin' on a leading chain
A minorAm D MajorD
And me an' John, oh was a long catch on
FF E MajorE A minorAm
It was the last of the ones I've seen
E MajorE A minorAm
So with a sword and a rope in belt
E MajorE
Feel all that your heart be sailed
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD
When that bonnie ship the Diamond goes
A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm
Fishin' for the whales
A minorAm D MajorD
Well, we feud all night, the cabin gauge
A minorAm E MajorE
It was a-more than feelin' bad
A minorAm D MajorD
And with all kind friends we watched in fear
A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm
It was a naught time we ever had
D MajorD A minorAm
So it's rise up my lads
E MajorE
Let your hearts never fail
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD
When that bonnie ship the Diamond goes
A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm
Fishin' for the whales
D MajorD
And all day long at Vera Cruz
A minorAm E MajorE
We sailed all the likes: to bind
A minorAm D MajorD
With no heavy moan, any hearts of stone
A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm
No aid was tried for mine
A minorAm D MajorD A minorAm
So it's cheer up my boys
E MajorE
Let your hearts never fail
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD
When that bonnie ship the Diamond goes
A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm
Fishin' for the whales
D MajorD
Well, now along cape Fate, 'twas lit in red
A minorAm E MajorE
All along cape Horn
A minorAm D MajorD
And from Vera Cruz we sailed ahead
A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm
It was all in the time of storm
A minorAm D MajorD A minorAm
So, it's cheer on up my boys
E MajorE
Let your hearts never fail
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD
When that bonnie ship the Diamond goes
A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm
Fishin' for the whales
