[Intro]
C    Csus    C    Csus    x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
n.c.        C              
There's a ship lies rigged 
      G            C      G
and ready in the harbour
C                C7           F
tomorrow for ol' England she sails
     Dm             F               Dm       F
far away from your land of endless sunshine
   Dm                              G
to my land full of rainy skies and gales
    C             G                C        G
and I shall be on board that ship tomorrow
C                           C7   
though my heart is full of tears 
           F
at this farewell
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm   G      C     Am      
For you are beautiful and 
Dm                G7
I have loved you dearly
      Dm              G7              C
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
Dm   G      C     Am      
for you are beautiful and 
Dm                G7
I have loved you dearly
      Dm              G7              C
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
 
 
[Verse 2]
G  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 that foreign flag a-raising
      Dm                             G
their guns on fire as we sailed 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 farewell
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm   G      C     Am      
For you are beautiful and 
Dm                G7
I have loved you dearly
      Dm              G7              C
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
Dm   G      C     Am      
for you are beautiful and 
Dm                G7
I have loved you dearly
      Dm              G7              C
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
 
 
[Verse 3]
G      C                  G          C         G
Though death and darkness gather all about me
         C           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                                    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
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm   G      C     Am      
For you are beautiful and 
Dm                G7
I have loved you dearly
      Dm              G7              C
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
Dm   G      C     Am      
for you are beautiful and 
Dm                G7
I have loved you dearly
      Dm              G7              C
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
