Verse 
    G       C       D      G 
The sun was setting in the west 
        Em         C          Bm    Em    Em 
And the birds were singing on every tree 
     G     D 
All nature seemed inclined for a rest 
    Em          C       Bm      C      D 
But still there was no rest for me 

     C 
So Farewell to Nova Scotia

your sea-bound coast 
        Em        C            Bm        Em    Em 
To your mountains dark to your hills and streams 
     G          D 
I am bound far away on the briny ocean tossed 
         Em           C          Bm       C      D 
Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me

The drums they do beat to war the alarm 
     Em      C        Bm    Em    Em 
The captain calls, we must obey 
       G               D 
So farewell, fare thee well To your Nova Scotian charms

It’s early in the morning I am bound far away

I grieve to leave my native land 
   Em       C        Bm       Em     Em 
I grieve to leave my comrades all 
       G        D 
And my parents whom I love so dear 
        Em           C           Bm   C      D 
And the bonny, bonny lass that I do  adore
