Capo 1
Intro G
There's a ship lie[G]s rigged and ready in the harbor[D7] [G]
tomorrow for old England she sa[G7]ils[C]
far awa[Am]y from your land of endless sunshine[C]
to my land f[Am7]ull of rainy skies and gales[D7]
and I [G]shall be on aboard t[D7]hat ship tomorrow[G]
though my heart is full of tears at this fa[G7]rewell[C]
Chorus:
[Am]For y[Bm]ou [D]are [G]beautifu[Em]l and[Am] I have loved you dearly[D7]
more dearly [Am7]than the spoken word ca[D7]n tell[G]
[Am]for[Bm] you[D] are[G] beautifu[Em]l and[Am] I have loved you dearly[D7]
more dearly[Am7] than the spoken word ca[D7]n tell[G]

Verse#2
[G]I heard there's a wicked war a[D7] blazing[G]
and the taste of war I know so very we[G7]ll[C]
Even now I [Am]see that foreign flag a raising[C]
their guns [Am7]on fire as we sailed into hell[D7]
I ha[G]ve no fear of death it b[D7]rings no sorrow[G]
but how bitter will be this last farewel[G7]l[C]
Chorus:
[Am]For [Bm]you[D] are [G]beautifu[Em]l and [Am]I have loved you dearly[D7]
more dearly[Am7] than the spoken wor[D7]d can tell[G]

more dearly [Am7]than the spoken word[D7] can tell[G]
Verse#3:
[G]Though death and darkness gather all about me[D7] [G]
and my ship be torn apart upon the[G7] sea[G]
I shall smel[Am]l again the fragrance of these islands[C]
in the heavin[Am7]g waves that brought me once to thee[D7]
and should[G] I return safe home again to E[D7]ngland[G]
I shall watch the English mist roll through[G7] the dale[C]
Chorus:
[Am]For[Bm] you[D] are [G]beautifu[Em]l and[Am] I have loved you dearly[D7]
more dearly[Am7] than the spoken word c[D7]an tell[G]
[Am]for[Bm] you[D] are[G] beauti[Em]ful an[Am]d I have loved you dearly[D7]
more dearly [Am7]than the spoken word c[D7]an tell[G]
