[Intro]
G | C | F | C | G C |
 
[Verse 1]
          C                          
There's a place I'll always cherish, 
           G             G7
'neath the blue Atlantic skies
          G                                  C
Where the shores down in Cape Breton bid the golden sun to rise
                                        F
And the fragrance of the apple blossoms sprays the dew-kissed lawns
        C                     
Back in dear old Nova Scotia, 
  G                 C
a place where I was born
 
[Verse 2]
    C                              
The Scotian and the Ocean Limited, 
        G          G7
and the Maritime Express
             G                  
Their mighty engines throbbing, 
           C
make their way towards the west
                                  
And the sturdy fishin' schooners, 
F
sways so lazely to and fro
     C                       G             C
Nova Scotia is my sanctuary, and I love it so

[Verse 3]
     C#                        
For across the Great Dominion, 
       G#               G#7
I have traveled far and wide
          G#                       
Where the shores out in Vancouver, 
         C#
kiss the blue Pacific tide
                                        
I have crossed the snow-capped Rockies, 
        F#
saw the wheat fields' golden blaze
       C#                            G#            C#
Headed back to Nova Scotia, where contented cattle graze
 
[Verse 4]
          C#                                G#                G#7
Where the purdy robin redbreast, seeks its' loved ones in the tree
        G#                                  C#
And the French dialect in old Quebec, keeps callin' out to me
                                           F#
It seems to say, be on your way, there's a welcome at the door
          C#                             G#           C#
Where the kinfolks are a-waiting on that gay Atlantic shore

[Verse 5]
             D                            A             A7
Down through beautiful New Brunswick and across the P.E.I. 

(Prince Edward Island)
                  A                            D
To the rock-bound coasts of Newfoundland, I'll love them till I die
                                          G
But if God came here on Earth with us and asked if he could rest
             D                           A                 D
I'd take him to my Nova Scotia home, the place that I love best
