The sun was [E] setting in the west, the [F#m] birds were singing on [A] every tree.
All nature [E] seemed to be at [F#m] rest, but still there was no rest for me.
[A] Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea-bound [E] coast, [F#m] let your mountains dark and dreary be.
[A] Ah, while I'm far away [E] on that briny ocean tossed, [F#m] would you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?
One, two, [A] three!
I grieve to leave my countryside, [F#m] I grieve to leave my comrades there,
[A] And my [E] parents who I held so near, [F#m] and the bonnie, [Bm] bonnie lass [F#m] I do adore.
[A] Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea-bound coast, [F#m] let your mountains dark and dreary be.
[A] Ah, while I'm [E] far away on that briny ocean tossed, [F#m] would you ever [Bm] heave a sigh [F#m] or a wish for me?
[A] The drums they beat and the horn alarms [F#m] my captain calls, I must obey.
[A] Farewell, [E] farewell to Nova Scotia's charm, [F#m] it's July [Bm] in the morning, [F#m] I'm far, far away.
[A] Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea-bound coast, [F#m] let your mountains dark and dreary be.

[A] I have three brothers, they are at rest, [F#m] their arms are folded on their chest.
[A] But a poor, [E] simple sailor just like me [F#m] must be tossed [Bm] around and battered [F#m] on the deep blue sea.
[A] Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea-bound coast, [F#m] let your mountains dark and dreary be.
[A] Ah, while I'm [E] far away on that briny ocean tossed, [F#m] would you ever [Bm] heave a sigh [F#m] or a wish for me?
