Intro: F C F Ab F 

verse 1 
F                       C                    F 
There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor 
F                             Bb 
Tomorrow for Old England she sails 
Bb 
Far away from your land of endless sunshine 
Bb                        G           C 
To my land full of rainy skies and gales 
F                C                  F 
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow 
F                                         Bb 
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell 

G      C      A    D     G               C 
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly 
G                       C             F    D 
More dearly than the spoken word can tell 
G      C      A     D      G               C 
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly 
G                      C              F   C   F  C  F 
More dearly than the spoken word can tell 


verse 2 
F                      C            F 
I've heard there's a wicked war a-blazing 
F                                   Bb 
And the taste of war I know so very well 
Bb 
Even now I see that foreign flag a-raising 
Bb               G                   C 
Their guns on fire as we sail into Hell 
F                  C                    F 
I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow 
F                                  Bb 
But how bitter will be this last farewell 

G      C      A    D     G               C 
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly 
G                       C             F    D 
More dearly than the spoken word can tell 
G      C      A     D      G               C 
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly 
G                       C              F   C   F  C  F 
More dearly than the spoken word can tell 


verse 3 
F                             C            F 
Though death and darkness gather all about me 
F                                  Bb 
And my ship be torn apart upon the seas 
Bb 
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands 
Bb                             G               C 
And the heaving waves that brought me once to thee 
F                            C            F 
And should I return safe home again to England 
F                                                Ab 
I shall watch the English mist roll through the Dale 

G      C      A    D     G               C 
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly 
G                       C             F    D 
More dearly than the spoken word can tell 
G      C      A     D      G               C 
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly 
G                       C              F   C   F  Ab  F 
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
