Verse 1:
Eb
Far away across the ocean
      Cm       Fm
Underneath an Indian star
         Bb               Eb
Dwells a dark eyed lonely maiden
       Bb          Eb
On the coast of Malabar
       Eb
In the harbor, where we anchored
      Cm      Fm
I can see her shy and sweet
       Bb                Eb
With a bunch of wine-red roses
        Bb                Eb
And the wild waves at her feet

Chorus:
             Eb
Oh fare thee well, my little dark eyed queen
          Cm         Fm
Fare thee well, my Indian star
      Bb                   Eb
In my heart you'll live forever
       Bb          Eb
On the coast of Malabar

All my thoughts keep ever turning
        Cm              Fm
To that far-off distant shore

And the dark eyed girl who loved me

I will see her never more
