Farewell To Nova Scotia Gordon Lightfoot

The [Db]sun was sinking down in the west

The [Bbm]birds were singing on every tree

All n[Db]ature s[Ab]eemed to be at rest

But [Bbm]still there w[F#]as no r[Fm]est for [Bbm]me

Chorus:

Farew[Db]ell to Nova Scotia

The sea-bound coast

may your [Bbm]mountains dark and dreary be

For when [Db]I am far a[Ab]way

On the briny ocean tossed

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

and a [Fm]wish for [Bbm]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
