[shawnabgoode]

I gotta go back to the east coast soon! Thanks for the tune!

[YnasMidgardNaule]

That's good!

[chengloki]

johnni, danmed good rendition. But have you been to sea?? You have no idea how the sea pulls!I'm a retired combat sailor. And I wan't to go back to sea!!! The union says I'm too old. Hell, I'm only 55. =Stefan=

[jselvy2]

ain't nobody knows but us blue water types. The sea get into your blood and draws you back.

"I must down to the sea once more

down to the starry sea and sky,

All I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by."

This is so fun! Thanks for posting this - i wanted to show my son that there was a few extra beats in that one line :) but i like your chords on the last line, too - very sweet!

[UbiDuboi]

i did know that

[Canadianidol2]

who originally wrote this song ?

[UbiDuboi]

the composer is unknown, but when Helen Creighton found it, she also found the last singer in the world who knew it.  Properly the title of the song is The Nova Scotia Song. Trust me.

[Silverbolt1234]

Very well done, makes me look forward for when I can move back there.

[dassouki]

umm do u have the tabs / chord progression ?

[johnnierah]

1st line/G

2nd line/Em

3rd line/G D

4th line/Em C Bm Em

[dassouki]
