[INTRO]
[Am]
[VERSE 1]
The [Am]Diamond is a shi[G]p, my lads, for the [Am]Davis Straits we're b[G]ound,
the [Am]Quay it is all g[G]arnished with [C]bonnie [G]lassies [Am]round.
Captain T[Am]hompson gives the o[G]rder to [Am]sail the ocean wi[G]de,
where the [Am]sun it never s[G]ets, my lads, nor [C]darkness [G]dims the [Am]sky.
[CHORUS]
For it's chee[C]r u[G]p, my l[Am]ads! Let your hearts never fail,
for the b[Am]onnie sh[G]ip The D[C]iamond go[G]es a' [Am]hunting [G]for the wh[Am]ale!
[VERSE 2]
A[Am]long the quay at P[G]eterhead, the [Am]lassies stand a[G]round,
their sh[Am]awls all pulled a[G]bout them and the s[C]alt tears r[G]unning d[Am]own.
[Am]Don't you weep, my b[G]onnie lass, though [Am]you be left beh[G]ind,
for the [Am]rose will grow on Gree[G]nland's ice befo[C]re we cha[G]nge our [Am]mind.
[CHORUS]
For it's chee[C]r u[G]p, my l[Am]ads! Let your hearts never fail,
for the b[Am]onnie sh[G]ip The D[C]iamond go[G]es a' [Am]hunting [G]for the wh[Am]ale!
[VERSE 3]
Here's a h[Am]ealth to The Resolu[G]tion! Like[Am]wise The Eliza Sw[G]an!
Three che[Am]ers to The Battler o[G]f Montrose, The Di[C]amond, sh[G]ip of f[Am]ame!
We’ll [Am]wear the trousers [G]of the white and the j[Am]ackets of the bl[G]ue,
when [Am]we get back to P[G]eterhead, we'll h[C]ae sweethe[G]arts e[Am]noo.
[CHORUS]
For it's chee[C]r u[G]p, my l[Am]ads! Let your hearts never fail,
for the b[Am]onnie sh[G]ip The D[C]iamond go[G]es a' [Am]hunting [G]for the wh[Am]ale!
[VERSE 4]
It w[Am]ill be bright by d[G]ay and night when the Gr[Am]eenland lads come h[G]ame,
with a s[Am]hip that's full of o[G]il, my lads, and m[C]oney t[G]ae your n[Am]ame.
We'll m[Am]ake the cradles f[G]or to rock and the b[Am]lankets for to te[G]ar,
and [Am]every lass in P[G]eterhead sing "h[C]ushaby[G]e", my [Am]dear !
[FINAL CHORUS]
For it's chee[C]r u[G]p, my l[Am]ads! Let your hearts never fail,
for the b[Am]onnie sh[G]ip The D[C]iamond go[G]es a' [Am]hunting [G]for the wh[Am]ale!
For it's chee[C]r u[G]p, my l[Am]ads! Let your hearts never fail,
for the b[Am]onnie sh[G]ip The D[C]iamond go[G]es a' [Am]hunting [G]for the wh[Am]ale!
