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