Farewell To Nova Scotia

Asonance

1.Oh the sun was setting in the west
       Dmi                    C     Dmi 
  the birds were singing on every tree
  F              C 
  all of nature seemed inclined for to rest
   Dmi        Bb          Ami      Dmi 
  but still there was no rest for me.
       F                        C 
R:Farewell to Nova Scotia your sea-bound coast
            Dmi                    C  Dmi 
  let your mountains dark and dreary be
        F             C 
  for when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed
   Dmi           Bb                  Ami      Dmi 
  will you ever give a thought or a wish for me?
2.I grieve to leave my native home
  I grieve to leave my comrades all
  and my dear aged parents I love so well
  and the bonnie bonnie lassie I do adore.
R:3. I have two brothers they are at rest
  their arms are folded upon their breast
  but a poor lonely sailor just like me
  must be tossed and driven on the deep blue sea.
R:4. For the drums they do beat and the horns do alarm
  the captain calls and we must obey
  so farewell farewell to Nova Scotia shores
  for its early in the morning I am far far away.
