D MajorD
't was on the Isle of Capri that I found her
D MajorD A7A7
Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree
A7A7
Oh, I can still see the flowers blooming round her
A7A7 D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD
Where we met on the Isle of Capri
D MajorD
She was as sweet as a rose at the dawning
D MajorD A7A7
But somehow fate hadn't meant her for me
A7A7
And though I sailed with the tide in the morning
A7A7 D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD
Still my heart's on the Isle of Capri
G+G D MajorD
Summertime was nearly over
G+G D MajorD
Blue Italian sky above
G+G D MajorD
I said "Lady, I'm a rover,
E MajorE A7A7
Can you spare a sweet word of love?"
D MajorD
She whispered softly "It's best not to linger"
D MajorD A7A7
And then as I kissed her hand I could see
A7A7
She wore a lovely meatball on her finger
A7A7 D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD
so goodbye at the villa Capri
G+G D MajorD
Summertime was nearly over
G+G D MajorD
Blue Italian sky above
G+G D MajorD
I said "Lady, I'm a rover,
E MajorE A7A7
Can you spare a sweet word of love?"
D MajorD
She whispered softly "It's best not to linger"
D MajorD A7A7
And then as I kissed her hand I could see
A7A7
She wore a plain golden ring on her finger
A7A7 D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD
so goodbye on the Isle of Capri
