There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor
C C7 F
Tomorrow for old England she sails
Dm F Dm F
Far a-way from your land of endless sunshine
Dm F G
To my land full of rainy skies and gales
C G C G
And I shall be a-board that ship to-morrow
C C7 F
Though my heart is full of tears at this fare-well
Dm G C Am
For you are beauti-ful
Dm G7
and I have loved you dearly
Dm G7 C
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
Dm G C Am
For you are beauti-ful
Dm G7
and I have loved you dearly
Dm G7 C
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
C G C G
I heard there's a wicked war a blazing
C C7 F
And the taste of war I know so very well
Dm F Dm F
Even now I see the foreign flag a raising
Dm F G
Their guns on fire as we sail into hell
C G C G
I have no fear of death it brings no sorrow
C C7 F
But how bitter, will be this last fare-well
C G C G
Though death and darkness gather all a-bout me
C C7 F
And my ship be torn a-part 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 G
And should I return safe home again to England
C C7 F
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale
Dm G C Am Dm G7
For you are beauti-ful and I have loved you dearly
Dm G7 C
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
Dm G C Am Dm G7
For you are beauti-ful and I have loved you dearly
Dm G7 C
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
