Stompin' Tom Connors - Blue nose

My ^Cfather was a Blue Nose, and ^Fhis dad through and through, My ^G7mother, she's a Blue Nose, and her mother's mother ^Ctoo, ^CWe live in Nova Scotia where the ^Fsea and sky are blue, And ^G7when they call us Blue Nose, we're goldang proud they ^Cdo.

^CFrom Sydney to the Yarmouth town and ^Fall points in between, It's ^G7just a magic picture book, the like you never ^Cseen, ^CAnd the pioneer who settled here and ^Fgave this land a name, If ^G7he was called Blue Nose, I wanna be called the ^Csame. For we ^Fturned the wheels of industry before the days of oil, ^FWhen the Nova Scotia miners gave the world their precious ^G7coal, And we ^Cbuilt the fastest sailing ship that ^Fever sailed the sea, And if ^G7that was called Blue Nose, that's good enough for ^Cme.

Now ^Cyou might work in Halifax or ^Fmake Cape Breton steel, But ^G7there's a bond between us all we understand and ^Cfeel, ^CAnd the world has seen our brothers who went ^Foff to fight the war, And if ^G7they were called Blue Nose, could we be something ^Cmore? Down where the ^Fseafoods are the finest, ^Falways grade A number one, ^FAnd the orchards of Anapolis, they're the second best to ^G7none, We ^Clove you, Nova Scotia, may you ^Fstand forever proud, And ^G7when they call you Blue Nose, just smile and take a ^Cbow.

We ^Clive in Nova Scotia where the ^Fsea and sky are blue, And ^G7when they call us Blue Nose, we're goddang proud they ^Cdo.
