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