Farewell To Nova Scotia Gordon Lightfoot

The [A]sun was sinking down in the west

The [F#m]birds were singing on every tree

All n[A]ature s[E]eemed to be at rest

But [F#m]still there w[D]as no r[C#m]est for [F#m]me

Chorus:

Farew[A]ell to Nova Scotia

The sea-bound coast

may your [F#m]mountains dark and dreary be

For when [A]I am far a[E]way

On the briny ocean tossed

Will you e[F#m]ver heave a s[D]igh

and a [C#m]wish for [F#m]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
