Bonnie Ship The Diamond

by Bob Dylan

[Verse]
          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
              [verse 1]
well, the bonnie ship was a good old ship
she was a+fishin’ on a leading chain
and me an’ john, oh was a long catch on
it was the last of the ones i’ve seen

[chorus]
so with a sword and a rope in belt
feel all that your heart be sailed
when that bonnie ship the diamond goes
fishin’ for the whales

[verse 2]
well, we feud all night, the cabin gauge
it was a+more than feelin’ bad
and with all kind friends we watched in fear
it was a naught time we ever had

[chorus]
so it’s rise up my lads
let your hearts never fail
when that bonnie ship the diamond goes
fishin’ for the whales

[verse 3]
and all day long at vera cruz
we sailed all the [?] to bind
with no heavy moan, any hearts of stone
no aid was tried for mine
[chorus]
so it’s cheer up my boys
let your hearts never fail
when that bonnie ship the diamond goes
fishin’ for the whales

[verse 4]
well, now along cape fate, ’twas lit in red
all along cape h+rn
and from vera cruz we sailed ahead
it was all in the time of storm

[chorus]
so, it’s cheer on up my boys
let your hearts never fail
when that bonnie ship the diamond goes
fishin’ for the whales
