Intro G
         G                D7         G
There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor
                G7        C
tomorrow for old England she sails
    Am                       C
far away from your land of endless sunshine
      Am7                  D7
to my land full of rainy skies and gales
   G          D7            G
and I shall be on aboard that ship tomorrow
                      G7        C
though my heart is full of tears at this farewell

Chorus:
Am  Bm D  G    Em  Am            D7
For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
      Am7          D7          G
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
Am Bm D  G    Em  Am            D7
for you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
      Am7           D7          G
more dearly than the spoken word can tell

Verse#2
G               D7          G
I heard there's a wicked war a blazing
                   G7        C
and the taste of war I know so very well
      Am                     C
Even now I see that foreign flag a raising
      Am7                   D7
their guns on fire as we sailed into hell
  G            D7             G
I have no fear of death it brings no sorrow
                    G7      C
but how bitter will be this last farewell

Chorus:
Am Bm D  G    Em  Am           D7
For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
      Am7         D7           G
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
Am Bm D  G    Em  Am           D7
for you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
      Am7         D7           G
more dearly than the spoken word can tell

Verse#3:
G                       D7          G
Though death and darkness gather all about me
                 G7          G
and my ship be torn apart upon the sea
      Am                          C
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
       Am7                            D7
in the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
     G               D7          G
and should I return safe home again to England
                      G7              C
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale

Chorus:
Am Bm D  G    Em  Am              D7
For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
      Am7          D7           G
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
Am Bm D  G   Em  Am              D7
for you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
      Am7          D7           G
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
