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