[Verse 1]
C The sun was setting in the west Am The birds were singing on every tree C G All nature seemed inclined to rest Am F Am But still there was no rest for me
[Chorus]
C Farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea-bound coast Am Let your mountains dark and dreary be C G For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed Am F Am Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?
[Verse 2]
C The drums do beat and the wars do alarm Am My captain calls, and I must obey C G So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charms Am F Am For it's early in the morning, I'll be far, far away
[Chorus]
C Farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea-bound coast Am Let your mountains dark and dreary be C G For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed Am F Am Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?
[Verse 3]
C I grieve to leave my native land Am I grieve to leave my comrades all C G And my parents, whom I loved so dear Am F Am And the bonny, bonny lassie that I do adore
[Chorus]
C Farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea-bound coast Am Let your mountains dark and dreary be C G For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed Am F Am Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?
[Verse 4]
C I have three brothers and they are at rest Am Their hands are folded on their chests C G But a poor simple sailor just like me Am F Am Must be tossed and driven on the dark, blue sea
[Chorus]
C Farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea-bound coast Am Let your mountains dark and dreary be C G For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed Am F Am Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me? C Farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea-bound coast Am Let your mountains dark and dreary be C G For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed Am F Am Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me? Am F Am Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?
