This song has been done by many artists before, but I haven't been able to find the anywhere. But I got some and figured I would share them with all of you! The chord pattern for the first verse is repeated for all of the verses as well as the Play it loud and proud. ____________________ The sun was setting in the west The birds were singing on every tree All nature seemed inclined for to rest But still there was no rest for me Farewell to Nova Scotia, you seabound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me? I grieve to leave my native land I grieve to leave my comrades all And my parents, whom I held so dear And my bonny, bonny lassie that I do adore The drums do beat and the wars do alarm My captain calls, I must obey So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charm For it's early in the morning, I'll be far, far away I have three brothers and they are at rest Their arms are folded on their breasts But a poor and simple sailor just like me Must be tossed and driven on the dark, blue sea ______________________ Travis Hatcher monday.morning.rain@gmail.com
