G C G C
There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor
C7 F
tomorrow for ol' England she sails
Dm F Dm F
far away from your land of endless sunshine
Dm F G
to my land full of rainy skies and gales
C G C
and I shall be on board that ship tomorrow
C7 F
though my heart is full of tears at this farewell
(Ref)
Dm G C Am Dm G7
For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
Dm G7 C Am
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
Dm G C Am Dm G7
for you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
Dm G7 C
more dearly than the spoken word can tell

G C G C
I heard there's a wicked war a blazing
C7 F
and the taste of war I know so very well
Dm F Dm F
Even now I see that foreign flag a raising
Dm F G
their guns on fire as we sailed into hell
C G C
I have no fear of death it brings no sorrow
C7 F
but how bitter will be this last farewell
(Ref)
Dm G C Am Dm G7
For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
Dm G7 C Am
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
Dm G C Am Dm G7
for you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
Dm G7 C
more dearly than the spoken word can tell

G C G C
Though death and darkness gather all about me
C7 F
and my ship be torn apart upon the sea
Dm F Dm F
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
Dm F G
in the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
C G C
and should I return safe home again to England
C7 F
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale
(Ref)
Dm G C Am Dm G7
For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
Dm G7 C Am
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
Dm G C Am Dm G7
for you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
Dm G7 C
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
