Blue Nose

	  		
   C                                               
My father was a Blue Nose,  
    F     
and his dad through and through, 
   G7        
My mother, she's a Blue Nose,  
                        C 
and her mother's mother too, 
C            
We live in Nova Scotia where the  
F 
sea and sky are blue, 
    G7                   
And when they call us Blue Nose,  
                         C 
we're goldang proud they do.
 

C                       
From Sydney to the Yarmouth town  
    F 
and all points in between, 
     G7                       
It's just a magic picture book,  
                   C 
the like you never seen, 
C                    
And the pioneer who settled here  
    F  
and gave this land a name, 
   G7                
If he was called Blue Nose,  
                      C 
I wanna be called the same. 
       F            
For we turned the wheels of industry before the days of oil, 
F                                                          
When the Nova Scotia miners gave  
                         G7 
the world their precious coal, 
       C                          
And we built the fastest sailing ship  
     F  
that ever sailed the sea, 
       G7                         
And if that was called Blue Nose,  
                       C 
that's good enough for me. 
 
***Chorus 
    C                           
Now you might work in Halifax  
   F 
or make Cape Breton steel, 
    G7                        
But there's a bond between us  
                      C 
all we understand and feel, 
C                              
And the world has seen our brothers  
         F 
who went off to fight the war, 
       G7                              
And if they were called Blue Nose,  
                      C 
could we be something more? 
               F           
Down where the seafoods are the finest,  
F 
always grade A number one, 
F                                      
And the orchards of Anapolis,  
                           G7 
they're the second best to none, 
   C                  
We love you, Nova Scotia,  
        F 
may you stand forever proud, 
    G7                                      
And when they call you Blue Nose,  
                      C 
just smile and take a bow. 
 
***Chorus 
   C                 
We live in Nova Scotia  
          F 
where the sea and sky are blue, 
    G7                                                   
And when they call us Blue Nose,  
                         C 
we're goddang proud they do.
