[Eb]
There's a ship lies rigged [Bb] and ready [Eb] in the harbor Tomorrow for all [Ab] England, she says
Far away from your land of endless sunshine To my land full of rainy [Bb] skies and gales
[Eb] But I [Bb] shall be aboard that [Eb] ship tomorrow Though my heart is full of tears, it [Ab] says farewell
[Fm] [Bb] For you [Gm] are [Cm] beautiful, [Fm] and I have [Bb] loved you dearly [Fm] More daily [Bb] than the spoken [Eb] word can tell
[Cm] [Fm] [Bb] For you [Eb] are [Gm] [Cm] beautiful, [Ab] and I have [Bb] loved you [Fm] dearly More daily [Bb] than the spoken [Eb] word can [Bbm] tell
[Eb] [Bbm] [Eb]
I heard [Bb] there's a wicked [Eb] war of late [Bb]
[F] And the taste of [Eb] war I know so [Ab] very well
Even now I see the foreign flag wave [Fm] Their guns on fire as we sail into [Bb] hell
I [Eb] have no fear [Bb] of death, it brings [Eb] no sorrow But how bitter will be this last [Ab] farewell
[Fm] For [Bb] you are [Eb] [Gm] [Cm] beautiful, [Fm] and I [Bb] have loved you [Fm] dearly More [Bb] daily than the spoken [Eb] word can tell
[Cm] [Fm] For [Bb] you [Eb] are [Gm] beautiful, [Cm] [Ab] and I have loved [Bb] you dearly [Fm] More daily than [Bb] the spoken word [Eb] can [Bb] tell
[Bbm] [Eb]
Though death and [F] darkness gather [Eb] all about me And my ship be torn apart upon [Ab] the sea
I shall smell again the fragrance of these isles In the [Fm] heating waves that brought me [Bb] once to thee
[Eb] Shall I [Bb] return safe home [Eb] again to England I shall watch the English mist roll [Ab] through the depths
[Fm] [Bb] For you [Eb] are [Gm] [Cm] beautiful, [Fm] and I have [Bb] loved you [Fm] dearly More daily [Bb] than the spoken [Eb] word can tell
[Cm] [Fm] For [Bb] you [Eb] are [Gm] [Cm] beautiful, [Ab] and I have loved [Bb] you dearly [Fm] More daily than [Bb] the spoken word [Eb] can tell
