[E] [A]
[A] [B] O'er the diamond-gazer [B] ship, me lads, For the day's trade she bound,
[Bm] And paid his [B] high garish [E] aid With fine [Bm] lassie's crown.
Captain Thompson did [B] it all aboard [Bm] To sail the [B] ocean wide,
But a [Bm] solid nary set, me [E] lads, No darkness [Bm] did he sigh,
And he rocked at your heart's [G] narrow bay,
[Bm] While the banishers of [B] time In those additional [E] days.

[G] [A]
Long [B] a-cared Peter [Bm] Hay, The lassies gather [B] round,
[Bm] Where the shards of [B] old good man [Bm] Stopped his cunning count.
But don't you [B] come, my boy, lads, Though you be left [A] behind,
[Bm] For the doors will [A] grow on Greenland's [Bm] side Before we change our mind,
And steer up the land, Till [G] hearts water fill,
[Bm] While the banished [B]
diamond [Bm] Goes a-fishing [E] for a shill.

[Bm] Here's a health to the [A] resolution, Like wisely lined a swan,
[Bm] Here's a health to the battle of Montrose, And the diamond to the bay.
The red through [B] those gold of [Bm] white, And the jacket's [B] sold of blue,
[Bm] One way to turn [A] into the equal hay, [E] For your heart's sweet [Bm] half-a-new,
And steer up the land, Till hearts water fill,
While the banished [A]
diamond [Bm] Goes a-fishing [E] for a shill.

[E] [B] [A]
[Bm] It'll be bright [B] hope day and night, [Bm] When the grieving lads come pay,
When the shipwrecks fall, For the lads are married to our days.
On the [B] cradles both are [Bm] hung, And the blankets [A] both tear,
[Bm] And every lass in [A] Peter Hay [E] Say, Hush-a [Bm]-bye, dear, and steer up the land,
Till [G] hearts never fill, [Bm] While the banished [A] diamond [Bm] Goes a-fishing [E] for a shill.
