Farewell To Nova Scotia Chords by Paddy Reilly

_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ [C#m] _ The [E] sun was setting in the west, and [C#m] the birds they sang in every tree.
[E] _
All nature [B] seemed inclined for to rest, but [C#m] alas, there was [G#m] no rest [C#m] for me.
_ [E]
Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea-bound coast, let [C#m] your mountains dark and dreary be.
And while I am far [B] away, o'er the grimy ocean tossed, would [C#m] you ever [G#m] heave a sigh or a wish [C#m] for me?
_ [E]
I grieve to leave my native home, [C#m] I grieve to leave my [G#m] comrades _ [E] all.
And my poor old [B] aged parents I love so much, and [C#m] the bonnie, bonnie [G#m] lassie that I [C#m] adore.
_ [E]
Farewell to Nova Scotia, [C#m] you sea-bound coast, let your mountains dark and [G#m] dreary be.
[E] And while I am far [B] away, o'er the grimy ocean tossed, would [C#m] you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?
[E] The drums do beat and the wars do alarm, and the [C#m] captains call, we must [G#m] obey.
_ [C#m] [E] So farewell, [B] farewell to my Nova Scotian home, for [C#m] it's [G#m] early in the morning and I must [E] away. _ _
Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea-bound coast, let your [C#m] mountains dark and dreary be.
[G#] And [E] while I am far [B] away, o'er the grimy ocean tossed, would [C#m] you ever heave a [G#m] sigh or a wish [C#m] for me?

have three brothers now they're at rest, [C#m] their hands are folded [E] across their [C#m] breasts.
[E] And a poor [B] simple sailor just like me, [C#m] must be tossed and [G#m] left on the deep [E] blue sea. _ _
Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea-bound coast, [C#m] let your mountains dark and dreary be.

And while I am [B] far away, o'er the grimy ocean tossed, [C#m] would you ever heave a [G#m] sigh or a wish [C#m] for me?
