Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]The [G]sun was setting in the west|[Em]The birds were singing on every tree[G]|All nature seem[D]ed inclined to rest|[Em]But still there was no rest for [G]me||Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast|Let your mount[Em]ains dark and dreary be|For when I am [G]far away[D] on the brimy ocean tossed|Will you ever[Em] heave a sigh or a wish for me?|[G]|The drums do beat and the wars do alarm[Em]|My captain calls, and I must obey[G]||So farewell,fare[D]well to Nova Scotia's char[Em]ms|For it's early in the morning, I'll be far, far a[G]way||Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast|Let your moun[Em]tains dark and dreary be|For when I am[G] far away [D]on the brimy ocean tossed|Will you ever [Em]heave a sigh or a wish for me?||[G]I grieve to leave my native land[Em]|I grieve to leave my comrades all|And my pare[G]nts, whom [D]I loved so dear|[Em]And the bonny,
bonny lassie that I [G]do adore||Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast|Let your [Em]mountains dark and dreary be|For when [G]I am far [D]away on the brimy ocean tossed|Will you [Em]ever heave a sigh or a wish for [G]me?||I have three brothers and they are at [Em]rest|Their hands are folded on their chests|But a [G]poor and simple [D]sailor just like me|Must be [Em]tossed and driven on the dark, [G]blue sea||Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast|Let your [Em]mountains dark and dreary be|For when [G]I am far a[D]way on the brimy ocean tossed|Will you e[Em]ver heave a sigh or a wish f[G]or me?||Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast|Let your m[Em]ountains dark and dreary be|For when I[G] am far aw[D]ay on the brimy ocean tossed|Will you ev[Em]er heave a sigh or a wish for me?||Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?||
