Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Fare[F]well[Am][Em][Am]
[C]to Nova Scotia,
you sea -bound coast,
[Am]O 'er your mountains dark
and dreary -deep,
But I [C]am far [G]away,
o 'er the briny ocean -toss,
[Am]Will you ever read the sire [Em]read for [Am]me?
[C]I grieve to leave my native land,
[Am]I grieve to leave my comrades all,
And my par[C]ents [G]whom
I have held so dear,
[Am]An d the bonnie,
bonnie lassie [Em]I do ad[Am]ore.
Farewell [C]to Nova Scotia,
your sea -bound coast,
[Am]Though your mountains
dark and dreary be,
But I [C]am far [G]away
on the briny ocean coast,
[Am]Will you ever free [F]the sigh [Em]or weep for [Am]me?
The [C]drongs to feed,
and the wars to alarm,
[Am]And the captains call,
we must obey.
[C]So farewell, [G]farewell,
to Nova Scotia's charms,
[Am]For it's early in the morn,
[F]and I'll [Em]be far, far [Am]away.
Farewell [C]to Nova Scotia,
you sea -bound coast,
[Am]For your mountains dark and eerie be,
I and [C]I are far [G]away on
the briny ocean tossed
Will [Am]you ever breathe a [F]sigh
[Em]or weep for me[Am]?
I have [C]three brothers, they are at rest
And [Am]their arms are folded on their chest
But [C]a poor, [G]simple sailor just like me
[Am]Must be tossed and driven
[F]on [Em]the cold, [Am]sea
Farewell [C]to Nova Scotia,
you sea -bound coast
Though [Am]your mountains
dark and dreary be,
And [C]I am far [G]away
on the briny ocean coast,
[Am]Will you ever breathe [F]a sigh
[Em]or weep for me[Am]?
Farewell [C]to Nova Scotia,
you seabound coast,
[Am]Though your mountains
dark and dreary be,
[C]And I am far [G]away
on the briny ocean coast,
Will [Am]you ever breathe a [F]sigh
[Em]or weep for [Am]me?
Will you ever breathe a [F]sigh
or weep for me?
[Am]
