Farewell To Nova Scotia(Chords)

	        
Verse 1:
  
   G  
The sun was setting in the west  
   Em                     G  D  Em  
The birds were singing on every tree  
   G      D  
All nature seemed inclined to rest  
   G           Em         G  D  Em  
But still there was no rest for me 
 

 
D    G  
 Farewell to Nova Scotia the sea-bound coast  
        Em                  G  D  Em  
Let your mountains dark and dreary be  
        G        D  
For when I am far away on your briny ocean tossed  
        G            Em            G  D  Em   
Will you ever leave a sigh or a wish for me 
 


Verse 2:
  G  
I greive to leave my native land  
  Em                    G  D  Em   
I grieve to leave my comrades all  
   G          D  
And my parents whom I held so dear  
   G        Em                   G  D  Em   
And the bonny, bonny lassie that I do adore 
 


  
D    G  
 Farewell to Nova Scotia the sea-bound coast  
        Em                  G  D  Em  
Let your mountains dark and dreary be  
        G        D  
For when I am far away on your briny ocean tossed  
        G            Em            G  D  Em   
Will you ever leave a sigh or a wish for me 
 


Verse 2:
  
   G  
The drums they do beat and the wards do alarm  
  Em                  G  D  Em 
The Captain calls, I must obey  
  G        D  
So farewell farewell to  my Nova Scotia home  
   G        Em                           G  D  Em  
For it's early in the morning that I'm far, far away 
 

   
D    G  
 Farewell to Nova Scotia the sea-bound coast  
        Em                  G  D  Em  
Let your mountains dark and dreary be  
        G        D  
For when I am far away on your briny ocean tossed  
        G            Em            G  D  Em   
Will you ever leave a sigh or a wish for me 
 


Verse 2:
  
 G  
I had three brothers and they are at rest  
    Em                 Bm    F#m  
Their arms are folded on their chests  
   A             E  
But a poor simple sailor just like me  
   A              F#m                 Bm   F#m  
Must be tossed and driven on the deep, blue sea 
 


  
D    G  
 Farewell to Nova Scotia the sea-bound coast  
        Em                  G  D  Em  
Let your mountains dark and dreary be  
        G        D  
For when I am far away on your briny ocean tossed  
        G            Em            G  D  Em   
Will you ever leave a sigh or a wish for me
