The Last Farewell - Roger Whittaker (CAPO 1)
[Intro]
D F D Cadd9 D
[Verse 1]
D A7 D
There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbour
D7 G
tomorrow for old England she sails
Em7
far away from your land of endless sunshine
A A7
to my land full of rainy skies and gales
D A7 D
and I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow
D7 G
though my heart is full of tears at this farewell
[Chorus]
Em A D Bm Em A7
For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
Em7 A7 D
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
Em A D Bm Em A7
for you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
Em A7 D C D C D
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
[Verse 2]
D C D C
I heard there's a wicked war a blazing
D G
and the taste of war I know so very well
Em7
Even now I see that foreign flag a raising
A A7
their guns on fire as we sailed into hell
D A D
I have no fear of death it brings no sorrow
D7 G
but how bitter will be this last farewell
[Chorus]
Em A D Bm Em A7
For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
Em A7 D
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
Em A D Bm Em A7
for you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
Em A7 D C D C D
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
[Verse 3]
D A7 D
Though death and darkness gather all about me
G
and my ship be torn apart upon the sea
Em7
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
A A7
in the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
D A7 D
and should I return safe home again to England
D7 G
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale
[Chorus]
Em A D Bm Em A7
For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
Em A7 D
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
Em A D Bm Em A7
for you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
Em A D F D Cadd9 D
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
