The [Dm]Diamond is a [C]ship my lads, for th[Dm]e Davies stra[C]it she`s bound
And the [Dm]key it is all [C]garnished with [Dm]barnie [Am]lashes [Dm]round
Captain T[Dm]ompson gives the [C]order to [Dm]sail the ocean [C]wide
Where the [Dm]sun it never [C]sets my lads nor [Dm]darkness d[Am]ims the [Dm]sky


And it's[Dm] cheer[Am] up my[Dm] lads, let your heart never fail
For the Bonnie ship the [C]Diamond goes a[Dm]fishing [Am]for the [Dm]whale


Oh a[Dm]long the key at P[C]eterhead then [Dm]Lashies stand ar[C]ound
With the [Dm]shoals all pulled about [C]them and their [Dm]shoulders [Am]running [Dm]down
Oh [Dm]don’t you weep my [C]bonnie lass or [Dm]you`ll be left beh[C]ind
For the [Dm]rose will grow on [C]Greenlands ice be[Dm]fore we c[Am]hange our [Dm]mind



And it's [Dm]cheer [Am]up my [Dm]lads, let your heart never fail
For the Bonnie ship the [C]Diamond goes a[Dm]fishing [Am]for the [Dm]whale

With a [Dm]helm to the Resoluti[Am]on likew[Dm]ise to Elisa Swan[Am][Am]
Theres a [Dm]helm to the Banner and one to [C]Rose and the [Dm]Diamond [Am]ship of f[Dm]ame
Oh we [Dm]wear the trousers of the[C] white and the[Dm] jackets of the[C] blue
When [Dm]we return to [C]Peterhead we`ll [Dm]have s[Am]weethearts [Dm]enough`


And it's[Dm] cheer[Am] up my[Dm] lads, let your heart never fail
For the Bonnie ship the [C]Diamond goes a[Dm]fishing [Am]for the [Dm]whale

Oh it [Dm]will be bright both [C]day and night when the [Dm]greenlads lets come[C] heim
With a [Dm]ship that’s full of [C]oil my lads and [Dm]money to [Am]our [Dm]name
Oh we [Dm]wake them cradels for to [C]rock and the [Dm]blankets for to [C]tear
And [Dm]every lass in [C]Peterhead say “h[Dm]ush you`ll [Am]be my [Dm]dear”!


And its [Dm]cheer [Am]up my [Dm]lads, let your heart never fail
For the Bonnie ship the [C]Diamond goes a[Dm]fishing [Am]for the [Dm]whale


And its [Dm]cheer [Am]up my [Dm]lads, let your heart never fail
For the Bonnie ship the [C]Diamond goes a[Dm]fishing [Am]for the [Dm]whale
