Farewell To Nova Scotia chords by 
George Hamilton Iv 
Key: A major•
Verse 1
A
The sun was setting in the west,
F#m
the birds were singing on every tree.
A
E
All nature seemed inclined for a rest,
F#m
but still there was no rest for me.
Farewell
A
Nova
Scotia, the sea -bound coast
F#m
Drift your mountains dark and dreary -beat
A
E
For when I am far away on
the flying ocean's coast
F#m
Will you ever breathe a
sigh and a wish for me?
A
I grieve to leave my native land,
F#m
I grieve to leave my comrades all,
A
E
And my ancient parents
whom I held so dear,
F#m
And the bonnie,
bonnie lass that I do adore.
A
Farewell, skull,
share the sea -bound coast
F#m
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
A
E
For when I'm far away on the
briny ocean coast
F#m
Will you ever breathe a sigh
and a wish for me?
A
The drums they do bleed,
and the wars do alarm
F#m
The captain calls, we must obey
A
E
So farewell, farewell to
Nova
Scotia's charms
F#m
For it's early in the morning,
I am far, far away
Farewell,
A
Nova
Scotia, the sea -bound coast
F#m
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
A
E
For when I am far away on the dry,
the ocean -crossed
F#m
Will you ever breathe a
sigh and a wish for me?
A
I have three brothers and they are at rest
F#m
Their arms are folded on their breasts
A
E
But a poor simple sailor just like me
F#m
Must be tossed and driven
on the dark blue sea
Farewell
A
Nova
Scotia, the sea -bound coast
F#m
Let your mountains dark and weary be
A
E
For when I am far away
on the bright ocean coast
F#m
Will you ever breathe a sigh
and a wish for me?
Will you ever breathe a sigh
and a wish for me?
Thank you.
