Chords
[Verse 1]
G Em There's dark and rolling sea G Em Between my love and me G D Em7 G As I walk through this cold lonesome town G Em As I wish for a better day G Em I need a place to stay G D Em7 G G7 if it's just a floor to spread my blanket down
[Chorus]
C G And if I could beg, steal or borrow Em C G D A ticket on some ole' ship or pla-ane C G I'd leave ole' London tomorrow C D G And I'd fly to my own true love again
[Verse 2]
G Em Off and on to change my shirt G Em Just to wash away the dirt G D Em7 G And then it's over to American Express G Em And not a letter do I find G Em She didn't even send a line G D Em7 G G7 And I know she has my forwarding address
[Chorus]
C G And if I could beg, steal or borrow Em C G D A ticket on some ole' ship or pla-ane C G I'd leave ole' London tomorrow C D G And I'd fly to my own true love again
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
G Em Last night The Troubadour G Em Was so full, they barred the door G D G And I sang a song that she Loves so well G Em And it wouldn't take me long G Em To make up another song G D Em7 G G7 About a sad and a lonesome farewell
[Chorus]
C G And if I could beg, steal or borrow Em C G D A ticket on some ole' ship or pla-ane C G I'd leave ole' London tomorrow C D G And I'd fly to my own true love again
[Verse 4]
G Em At my room I close the door G Em Spread my blanket on the floor G D G Feeling like a man in a cell G Em Sleep finally comes to me G Em and I drift across the sea G D Em7 G G7 To the waiting arms of the girl I love so well
[Chorus]
C G And if I could beg, steal or borrow Em C G D A ticket on some ole' ship or pla-ane C G I'd leave ole' London tomorrow C D G And I'd fly to my own true love again C D G Yes I'd fly to my own true love again
