Farewell nova scotia

A
The sun was sinking down in the west
F#m
The birds were singing on every tree
A E
All nature seemed to be at rest
F#m D C#m F#m
But still there was no rest for me

Chorus:

A
Farewell to Nova Scotia

The sea-bound coast
F#m
may your mountains dark and dreary be
A E
For when I am far away

On the briny ocean tossed
F#m D
Will you ever heave a sigh
C#m F#m
and a wish for me

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
