[Verse 1]
    Dm           Am                     Dm                 Am
The Diamond is a ship, me lads, for the Davis Strait we're bound,
    Dm             Am             F      C       Dm
the quay it is all garnished with bonny lasses 'round;
        Dm                 Am        Dm             Am
Captain Thompson gives the orders to sail the ocean wide,
          Dm           Am                 F        C        Dm
Where the sun it never sets, me lads, nor darkness dims the sky


[Chorus]
         Dm                         F
For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail,
        C                                G
For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale.
         Dm                         F
For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail,
        G                                G       F       Dm
For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale.

[Verse 2]
 Dm               Am             Dm           Am
Along the quay of Peterhead, the lasses stand around,
    Dm                 Am                 F          C       Dm
Wi' shawls all pulled around them and the salt tears runnin' down;
     Dm                 Am                  Dm               Am
Well don't you weep, my bonny lass, though you'll be left behind,
        Dm                 Am                F       C          Dm
For the rose will bloom on Greenland's ice before we change our mind


[Chorus]
         Dm                         F
For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail,
        C                                G
For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale.
         Dm                         F
For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail,
        G                                G       F       Dm
For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale.

[Verse 3]
         Dm                Am          Dm             Am
Here's a health to the Resolution, likewise the Eliza Swan,
      Dm                    Am                  F        C       Dm
Three cheers to the Battler of Montrose and the Diamond, ship of fame;
   Dm                Am               Dm             Am
We wear the trousers of the white and jackets of the blue,
     Dm             Am               F         C       Dm
When we get back to Peterhead, we'll have sweethearts anew,


[Chorus]
         Dm                         F
For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail,
        C                                G
For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale.
         Dm                         F
For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail,
        G                                G       F       Dm
For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale.

[Verse 4]
   Dm                  Am                 Dm                  Am
It will be bright both day and night when Greenland lads come hame,
    Dm                Am                F     C      D
Our ship full up with oil, my lads, and money to our name;
      Dm               Am                  Dm              Am
We'll make the cradles for to rock and the blankets for to tear,
    Dm            Am               F    C       Dm
And every lass in Peterhead sing: "Hushabye, my dear"

For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale.

         Dm                         F
For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail,
        C                                G
For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale.
         Dm                         F
