Farewell nova scotia

    AThe (x02220@1)sun was sinking down in the west
    F#mThe (244222@1)birds were singing on every tree
     A (x02220@1)    EAll (022100@1)nature seemed to be at rest
    F#m (244222@1)        D (xx0232@1)    C#m (x13321@4)   F#mBut (244222@1)still there was no rest for me

Chorus:

     AFarewell (x02220@1)to Nova Scotia

The sea-bound coast
         F#mmay (244222@1)your mountains dark and dreary be
         A (x02220@1)       EFor (022100@1)when I am far away

On the briny ocean tossed
          F#m (244222@1)        DWill (xx0232@1)you ever heave a sigh
      C#m (x13321@4)    F#mand (244222@1)a wish for me

I grieve to leave my native land
I grieve to leave my comrades all
And my aged loving parents whom I held so dear
And the bonny, bonny lass
who I do adore

I have three brothers and they are at rest
Their arms are folded on their chests
But a poor, weary sailor the likes of me
Must be tossed and forgotten
On the deep, blue sea
