[Bb] I have three brothers, but they are at rest, [Gm] and their arms are folded across their breast.

[Bb] The drums do sound, while the wars do alarm, [Gm] and our captain calls, you must obey.
[Bb] So farewell, farewell [F] to Nova Scotia's charms, [Gm] for it's early [F] in the morning, [Gm] I am [Bb] down [Gm] far away.
So [Bb] farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea-bound foes, [Gm] let your mountains dark and fair I be.
