[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
There's a [C]place
I'll always cherish
beneath the [G]blue Atlantic skies
Where the shores down in Cape Breton
bid the [C]golden sun rise
And the fragrance of the apple blossom
[F]above the dew -kissed lawn
Back in dear [C]old Nova Scotia,
the [G]place where I was [C]born
The Scotian and the Ocean Limited
and the [G]Maritime Express
Their mighty engines throbbin'
make their [C]way towards the West
And the sturdy fishin' schooner
sways so [F]lazy to and fro
Nova [C]Scotia is my sanctuary
an[G]d I love her s[C]o[G][C][Db]
Far across the great dominion
I have [Ab]traveled far and wide
Where the shores out in Vancouver
kiss the [Db]blue Pacific tide
[Bbm]I have[Db] crossed the
snow -capped
Rockies,
saw the [Gb]wheat fields golden blaze
Headed [Db]back to Nova Scotia
where I [Ab]spend my twilight [Db]days
Where the pretty robin redbreast
sings to [Ab]loved ones in the trees
And the French dialect in old Quebec
keeps a [Db]-callin' out to me
[Bbm]It see[Db]ms to say be on your way,
there's [Gb]a welcome at the door
Where the [Db]kinfolks are a -waitin'
on that [Ab]green Atlantic shore
[Db][Bbm][Db][Ab][Db][D]
Down through beautiful New Brunswick
and [A]across to P .E .I.
To the rockbound coast of Newfoundland
I'll [D]love them till I die.
But if God came here on earth with us
and [G]asked for a little rest
I'd take him [D]to my Nova Scotia home,
the [A]place that I love [D]best.

[Outro 1]
