Tuning: G C E A

[Verse 1]

The ^Csun was setting in the west The ^Ambirds were singing on every tree All ^Cnature ^Gseemed inclined to rest But ^Amstill there ^Fwas no ^Amrest for me

[Chorus]

Fare^Cwell to Nova Scotia, the sea-bound coast Let your ^Ammountains dark and dreary be For when ^CI am far a^Gway on the briny ocean tossed Will you ^Amever heave a ^Fsigh or a ^Amwish for me?

[Verse 2]

The ^Cdrums do beat and the wars do alarm My ^Amcaptain calls, and I must obey So ^Cfarewell, far^Gewell to Nova Scotia's charms For it's ^Amearly in the ^Fmorning, I'll be ^Amfar, far away

[Chorus]

Fare^Cwell to Nova Scotia, the sea-bound coast Let your ^Ammountains dark and dreary be For when ^CI am far a^Gway on the briny ocean tossed Will you ^Amever heave a ^Fsigh or a ^Amwish for me?

[Verse 3]

I ^Cgrieve to leave my native land I ^Amgrieve to leave my comrades all And my ^Cparents, whom I ^Gloved so dear And the ^Ambonny, bonny ^Flassie that I ^Amdo adore

[Chorus]

Fare^Cwell to Nova Scotia, the sea-bound coast Let your ^Ammountains dark and dreary be For when ^CI am far a^Gway on the briny ocean tossed Will you ^Amever heave a ^Fsigh or a ^Amwish for me?

[Verse 4]

I ^Chave three brothers and they are at rest Their ^Amhands are folded on their chests But a ^Cpoor simple sail^Gor just like me Must be ^Amtossed and ^Fdriven on the ^Amdark, blue sea

[Chorus]

Fare^Cwell to Nova Scotia, the sea-bound coast Let your ^Ammountains dark and dreary be For when ^CI am far a^Gway on the briny ocean tossed Will you ^Amever heave a ^Fsigh or a ^Amwish for me?

Will you ^Amever heave a ^Fsigh or a ^Amwish for me?
