[Verso 1]
 
        Dm 
Oh, the Diamond is a ship me lads, 
        C 
for the Davis Strait she's bound 
        G                              
And the quay it is all garnished,  
    Dm 
Wae bonnie lassies round. 
         Dm                                   C 
Captain Thompson gees the orders, to sail the ocean wide 
          Bb                            C 
where the sun it never sets me lads, or darkness dims 

the sky 

     Dm                             C 
All along the key at Peterhead, the lassies stand around 
          G                                     Dm 
Wae their shawls aw poo'd aboot them, and their sawt 

tears runnin' doon 

   Dm 
Oh, don't you weep my bonnie lass 
       C                           Bb 
though you be left behind, for the rose will grow on 
                   C 
Greenland's ice, before we change our mind 



[Refrão]

         Dm    C     G 
And it's cheer up my lads 
         Dm     C     Bb 
Let your hearts never fail 
        Bb              Am 
For the bonnie ship the Diamond 
       Bb      F       Dm 
Goes a’fishing for the whale

         Dm 
Here's a health to the Resolution 
        C 
and likewise, the Eliza Swan 
         G 
Here's a health to the Battler o' Montrose and the 
Dm 
Diamond ship o' fame 
   Dm 
We wear the troosers o' the white 
        C 
and the jackets o' the blue 
     G                             Dm 
When we return tae Peterhead we'll hae sweethearts anew

         Dm    C     G 
And it's cheer up my lads 
         Dm     C     Bb 
Let your hearts never fail 
        Bb              Am 
For the bonnie ship the Diamond 
       Bb      F       C 
Goes a’fishing for the whale 



[Ponte]
 
C 
     My soul has been torn from me, 
    F   Em     C 
And I am   bleeding 

My heart has been wrent from me, 
    F   Em   C 
And I am   crying 
C                F        C         Bb        C 
 All the beauty around me fades and I am screaming 
                                       F  Bb   C 
I am the last of the great whales, and I am dy-ing
