[D] [A] [Bm] [G] [Bm]
[D] [A] [Bm] [F#m] [G] [A]
[VERSE]
The [D]sun was sinking [A]in the West
The [Bm]birds were [G]singing on [Bm]every tree
[D]All nature [A]seemed to be at rest
But a[Bm]las, there [G]was no [F#m]rest for [G]me [A]
[CHORUS]
Fare[D]well to Nova Scotia, your [A]sea-bound coast
Let your [Bm]moun[F#m]tains [G]dark [Em]and [F#m]dreary [Bm]be
When [D]I am far a[A]way on the briny ocean tossed
Will you [Bm]ever heave a [G]sigh or [F#m]wish for [G]me [A]
[VERSE]
I [D]grieve to leave my [A]native home
I [Bm]grieve to [G]leave my [Bm]comrades all
My [D]parents [A]whom I love so dear
And the [Bm]bonny, bonny [G]lass I [F#m]do a[G]dore [A]
[CHORUS]
Fare[D]well to Nova Scotia, your [A]sea-bound coast
Let your [Bm]moun[F#m]tains [G]dark [Em]and [F#m]dreary [Bm]be

[D] [A] [Bm] [F#m] [G] [A]
[VERSE]
I [D]have three brothers and [A]they are dressed
Their [Bm]arms are [G]folded [Bm]on their breast
But a [D]poor simple [A]sailor just like me
Must be [Bm]tossed and [G]driven on the [F#m]deep dark [G]sea [A]
[CHORUS]
Fare[D]well to Nova Scotia, your [A]sea-bound coast
Let your [Bm]moun[F#m]tains [G]dark [Em]and [F#m]dreary [Bm]be

Will you [Bm]ever heave a [G]sigh or [F#m]wish for [G]me [A]
[VERSE]
The [D]drums are beating, the [A]wars do alarm
My [Bm]captain [G]calls, I [Bm]must obey
Fare[D]well, fare[A]well to Nova Scotia's charms
It's [Bm]early in the [G]morning, I am [F#m]bound far a[G]way [A]
