[INTRO]

G G


[VERSE 1]

G G
The sun was setting in the west
Em Em
The birds were singing on every tree
G G D D
All nature seemed inclined for to rest
Em Em C C Em Em
But still there was no rest for me


[CHORUS]

G G
Farewell to Nova Scotia, you seabound coast
Em Em
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
G G D D
For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed
Em Em C C Em Em
Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?


[VERSE II]

G G
I grieve to leave my native land
Em Em
I grieve to leave my comrades all
G G D D
And my parents, whom I held so dear
Em Em C C Em Em
And my bonny, bonny lassie that I do adore


[CHORUS]

G G
Farewell to Nova Scotia, you seabound coast
Em Em
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
G G D D
For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed
Em Em C C Em Em
Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?


[VERSE III]
G G
The drums do beat and the wars do alarm
Em Em
My captain calls, I must obey
G G D D
So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charm
Em Em C C Em Em
For it's early in the morning, I'll be far, far away


[CHORUS]

G G
Farewell to Nova Scotia, you seabound coast
Em Em
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
G G D D
For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed
Em Em C C Em Em
Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?


[VERSE IV]
G G
I have three brothers and they are at rest
Em Em
Their arms are folded on their breasts
G G D D
But a poor and simple sailor just like me
Em Em C C Em Em
Must be tossed and driven on the dark, blue sea
