Intro G+G
         G+G                D7D7         G+G
There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor
                G7G7        C majorC
tomorrow for old England she sails
    A minorAm                       C majorC
far away from your land of endless sunshine
      Am7Am7                  D7D7
to my land full of rainy skies and gales
   G+G          D7D7            G+G
and I shall be on aboard that ship tomorrow
                      G7G7        C majorC
though my heart is full of tears at this farewell

Chorus:
A minorAm  B minorBm D MajorD  G+G    E minorEm  A minorAm            D7D7
For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
      Am7Am7          D7D7          G+G
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
A minorAm B minorBm D MajorD  G+G    E minorEm  A minorAm            D7D7
for you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
      Am7Am7           D7D7          G+G
more dearly than the spoken word can tell

Verse#2
G+G               D7D7          G+G
I heard there's a wicked war a blazing
                   G7G7        C majorC
and the taste of war I know so very well
      A minorAm                     C majorC
Even now I see that foreign flag a raising
      Am7Am7                   D7D7
their guns on fire as we sailed into hell
  G+G            D7D7             G+G
I have no fear of death it brings no sorrow
                    G7G7      C majorC
but how bitter will be this last farewell

more dearly than the spoken word can tell
A minorAm B minorBm D MajorD  G+G    E minorEm  A minorAm           D7D7
for you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
      Am7Am7         D7D7           G+G
more dearly than the spoken word can tell

Verse#3:
G+G                       D7D7          G+G
Though death and darkness gather all about me
                 G7G7          G+G
and my ship be torn apart upon the sea
      A minorAm                          C majorC
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
       Am7Am7                            D7D7
in the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
     G+G               D7D7          G+G
and should I return safe home again to England
                      G7G7              C majorC
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale

Chorus:
A minorAm B minorBm D MajorD  G+G    E minorEm  A minorAm              D7D7
For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
      Am7Am7          D7D7           G+G
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
A minorAm B minorBm D MajorD  G+G   E minorEm  A minorAm              D7D7
for you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
      Am7Am7          D7D7           G+G
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
