| Farewell To Nova Scotia | Asonance

       Dmi     F              C
    1. Oh the sun was setting in the west
            Dmi                    C     Dmi
       the birds were singing on every tree
       F              C
       all of nature seemed inclined for to rest
        Dmi        Bb          Ami      Dmi
       but still there was no rest for me.

            F                        C
    R: Farewell to Nova Scotia your sea-bound coast
                 Dmi                    C  Dmi
       let your mountains dark and dreary be
             F             C
       for when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed
        Dmi           Bb                  Ami      Dmi
       will you ever give a thought or a wish for me?

    2. I grieve to leave my native home
       I grieve to leave my comrades all
       and my dear aged parents I love so well
       and the bonnie bonnie lassie I do adore.
    R:

    3. I have two brothers they are at rest
       their arms are folded upon their breast
       but a poor lonely sailor just like me
       must be tossed and driven on the deep blue sea.
    R:

    4. For the drums they do beat and the horns do alarm
       the captain calls and we must obey
       so farewell farewell to Nova Scotia shores
       for its early in the morning I am far far away.
    R:
