Hank Snow – My Nova Scotia Home (Guitar)

          C                                     G             G7
There's a place I'll always cherish, 'neath the blue Atlantic skies

          G                                  C
Where the shores down in Cape Breton bid the golden sun to rise

                                        F
And the fragrance of the apple blossoms sprays the dew-kissed lawns

        C                       G                 C
Back in dear old Nova Scotia, a place where I was born

    C                                      G          G7
The Scotian and the Ocean Limited, and the Maritime Express

             G                             C
Their mighty engines throbbing, make their way towards the west

                                  F
And the sturdy fishin' schooners, sways so lazely to and fro

     C                       G             C
Nova Scotia is my sanctuary, and I love it so

     C#                               G#               G#7
For across the Great Dominion, I have traveled far and wide

          G#                                C#
Where the shores out in Vancouver, kiss the blue Pacific tide

                                                F#
I have crossed the snow-capped Rockies, saw the wheat fields' golden blaze

       C#                            G#            C#
Headed back to Nova Scotia, where contented cattle graze

          C#                                G#                G#7
Where the purdy robin redbreast, seeks its' loved ones in the tree

        G#                                  C#
And the French dialect in old Quebec, keeps callin' out to me

                                           F#
It seems to say, be on your way, there's a welcome at the door

          C#                             G#           C#
Where the kinfolks are a-waiting on that gay Atlantic shore

             D                            A             A7
Down through beautiful New Brunswick and across the P.E.I. (Prince Edward Island)

                  A                            D
To the rock-bound coasts of Newfoundland, I'll love them till I die

                                          G
But if God came here on Earth with us and asked if he could rest

             D                           A                 D
I'd take him to my Nova Scotia home, the place that I love best
