Farewell To Nova Scotia Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 The Asun was sinking down in the west

 The F♯mbirds were singing on every tree

 All nAature sEeemed to be at rest

 But F♯mstill there wDas no rC♯mest for F♯mme

Chorus

 FarewAell to Nova Scotia

The sea-bound coast

 may your F♯mmountains dark and dreary be

 For when AI am far aEway

On the briny ocean tossed

 Will you eF♯mver heave a sDigh

 and a C♯mwish for F♯mme

I grieve to leave my native land

I grieve to leave my comrades all

And my aged loving parents whom I held so dear

And the bonny, bonny lass

who I do adore

I have three brothers and they are at rest

Their arms are folded on their chests

But a poor, weary sailor the likes of me

Must be tossed and forgotten

On the deep, blue sea
