[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G The sun was setting in the west Em The birds were singing on every tree G D All nature seemed inclined for to rest Em C Bm Em But still there was no rest for me
[Chorus]
G Farewell to Nova Scotia, you seabound coast Em Let your mountains dark and dreary be G D For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed Em C Bm Em Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?
[Verse II]
G I grieve to leave my native land Em I grieve to leave my comrades all G D And my parents, whom I held so dear Em C Bm Em And my bonny, bonny lassie that I do adore
[Chorus]
G Farewell to Nova Scotia, you seabound coast Em Let your mountains dark and dreary be G D For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed Em C Bm Em Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?
[Verse III]
G The drums do beat and the wars do alarm Em My captain calls, I must obey G D So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charm Em C Bm Em For it's early in the morning, I'll be far, far away
[Chorus]
G Farewell to Nova Scotia, you seabound coast Em Let your mountains dark and dreary be G D For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed Em C Bm Em Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?
[Verse IV]
G I have three brothers and they are at rest Em Their arms are folded on their breasts G D But a poor and simple sailor just like me Em C Bm Em Must be tossed and driven on the dark, blue sea
