Farewell To Nova Scotia chords by Stompin' Tom Connors

(E minor) The sun (G major) was setting in the (E minor) west|The birds were singing on every (G major) tree|All nature seemed (D major) inclined to rest|But still (E minor) there was no rest for (G major) me||Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast|Let your (E minor) mountains dark and dreary be|For when (G major) I am far (D major) away on the brimy ocean tossed|Will you (E minor) ever heave a sigh or a wish for (G major) me?||The drums do beat and the wars do (E minor) alarm|My captain calls, and I must obey||So (G major) farewell, (D major) farewell to Nova Scotia's charms|For it's early (E minor) in the morning, I'll be far, far (G major) away||Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast|Let your (E minor) mountains dark and dreary be|For when (G major) I am far away (D major) on the brimy ocean tossed|Will you (E minor) ever heave a sigh or a wish for (G major) me?||I grieve to leave my native land|I grieve (E minor) to leave my comrades all|And my (G major) parents, (D major) whom I loved so dear|And the bonny, (E minor)

bonny lassie that I do (G major) adore||Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast|Let your (E minor) mountains dark and dreary be|For when (G major) I am far away (D major) on the brimy ocean tossed|Will you (E minor) ever heave a sigh or a wish for (G major) me?||I have three brothers and they are at (E minor) rest|Their hands are folded on their chests|But a poor (G major) and simple (D major) sailor just like me|Must be (E minor) tossed and driven on the dark, blue (G major) sea||Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast|Let your (E minor) mountains dark and dreary be|For when (G major) I am far away (D major) on the brimy ocean tossed|Will you (E minor) ever heave a sigh or a wish for (G major) me?||Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast|Let your (E minor) mountains dark and dreary be|For when (G major) I am far away (D major) on the brimy ocean tossed|Will you (E minor) ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?||Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?||
