Intro:
F C F Ab F

Verse 1:
F                       C                    F
There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor
F                             Bb
Tomorrow for Old England she sails
Bb
Far away from your land of endless sunshine
Bb                        G           C
To my land full of rainy skies and gales
F                C                  F
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow
F                                         Bb
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell

Chorus:
G      C      A    D     G               C
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
G                       C             F    D
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
G      C      A     D      G               C
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
G                      C              F   C   F  C  F
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

Verse 2:
F                      C            F
I've heard there's a wicked war a-blazing
F                                   Bb
And the taste of war I know so very well
Bb
Even now I see that foreign flag a-raising
Bb               G                   C
Their guns on fire as we sail into Hell
F                  C                    F
I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow
F                                  Bb
But how bitter will be this last farewell

Chorus:
G      C      A    D     G               C
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
G                       C             F    D
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
G      C      A     D      G               C
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
G                       C              F   C   F  C  F
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

Verse 3:
F                             C            F
Though death and darkness gather all about me
F                                  Bb
And my ship be torn apart upon the seas
Bb
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
Bb                             G               C
And the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
F                            C            F
And should I return safe home again to England
F                                                Ab
I shall watch the English mist roll through the Dale

Chorus:
G      C      A    D     G               C
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
G                       C             F    D
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
G      C      A     D      G               C
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
G                       C              F   C   F  Ab  F
