D7        G                    D7    Am7     G
There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor;

D7 G             G7          C
Tomorrow for old England she sails,

     Am             C      C/B      Am      Am7
Far away from your land of endless sunshine,

       Am  Am+7     Am7  Am7/G      D7
To my land full of rainy skies and gales.

    G            D7                 G
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow,

            G               G7                C
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell;


Refrain:

D9  Am7  D7  G    Em   C      C/B        Am7 
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly,

      C      C/B     Am7     D7       G    Am7  G
More dearly than the spoken word can tell.

D9  Am7  D7  G    Em   C      C/B        Am7 
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly,

      C      C/B     Am7     D7       G    Am7  G  D7
More dearly than the spoken word can tell.


D7    G               D7    Am7     G
I've heard there's a wicked war a-blazing,

D7        G             G7          C
And the taste of war I know so very well;

     Am             C      C/B     Am      Am7
Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising,

       Am      Am+7   Am7     Am7/G  D7
Their guns on fire as we sail into hell.

D7 G                D7       Am7       G
I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow;

D7       G         G7                 C
But how bitter will be this last farewell,


Repeat Refrain:


D7       G                 D7    Am7   G
Though death and darkness gather all about me,

D7  G             G7            C
My ship be torn apart upon the seas,

   Am                     C      C/B       Am      Am7
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands

         Am      Am+7        Am7     Am7/G     D7
And the heaving waves that brought me once to thee.

D7    G                   D7    Am7     G
And should I return safe home again to England,

         G                G7                      C
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dells,
