The sun was setting in the west
Am
The birds were singing on every tree

All nature seemed inclined to rest
Am F Am
But still there was no rest for me
[Chorus]
C
Farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea-bound coast
Am
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
C G
For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed
Am F Am
Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?
