Verse
    G       C       D      G
The sun was setting in the west
        Em         C          Bm    Em    Em
And the birds were singing on every tree
     G     D
All nature seemed inclined for a rest
    Em          C       Bm      C      D
But still there was no rest for me

So Farewell to Nova Scotia

your sea-bound coast

To your mountains dark to your hills and streams
     G          D
I am bound far away on the briny ocean tossed
         Em           C          Bm       C      D
Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me

The drums they do beat to war the alarm

The captain calls, we must obey
       G               D
So farewell, fare thee well To your Nova Scotian charms

It's early in the morning I am bound far away

And my parents whom I love so dear

And the bonny, bonny lass that I do  adore
