Farewell nova scotia

    A
The sun was sinking down in the west

    F#m
The birds were singing on every tree

     A      E
All nature seemed to be at rest

    F#m          D      C#m     F#m
But still there was no rest for me

Chorus:

     A
Farewell to Nova Scotia

The sea-bound coast

         F#m
may your mountains dark and dreary be

         A         E
For when I am far away

On the briny ocean tossed

          F#m          D
Will you ever heave a sigh

      C#m      F#m
and 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
