[F]
[G] Once [Am] again with the tide [G] she slips her lines, turns her [F] head and comes away.
[Am] Where she lay so still there at privateer's wharf, [F] now she quickly gathers way.
[G] She [C] will range far [E] south from the harbor mouth and [Am] rejoice with every [D] way.
[A]
Who will [Am] know that who [G] knows in [A] the sun?
Veiler bow rise free of [G] mother sea [F] in a sunburst cloudless gray.
[G]
That [Am] stings the cheek while the rigging will speak [F] of sea miles gone away.
[G] She [C] is always best [E] under cold grass [Am]
hard over as she [D] lay.
[Am] Who will know that who [G] knows in the [F] sun?
Who [G] [Am] will know that who [G] knows [A] in the sun?
[G] The [D] proud fast queen [G] of the grand banks fleet [C] portrayed on [E] every dime.
[A] New [Am] hard work in [D] her time, [A] hard work in every line.
[Am]
Rich men's toys of [G] the Gloucester boys with their [C] token bitter [E] charm.
[Am] They snap their scars [D] and strain to pass her [G] by.
But [E] she left them all [Am] behind.
Now her namesake daughter remains [F] to show what she has been.
[G] [Am] What every [G] school boy remembers [F] and will not come again.
[G] [C] To think she's the last of [E] the grand banks schooners [Am] that fed so many [D] men.
Who [Am] will know that who [G] knows in [F] the sun?

So does she not take wing [Am] like a living being [F] child of the moving tide?
[G] See [Am] her pass with grace [G] on the [Am] water's face with [F] clean and quiet pride.
[G] [C] Our own tall ship [E] of great renown [Am] still lifts unto [D] the sky.
[A] And who will know that who [G] knows [F] in the sun?
[G]
[A] Who will know that [C] who knows in [F] the sun?
[G] [Am] Who will know that who [G] knows in [F] the sun?
Know that who knows in [D] the sun.
