F                       C7                    F
There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor

  F              F7     F/A    Bb
Tomorrow for Old England she sails

Bb                                         Bb6 Bb
Far away from your land of endless sunshine

    Bb             Gm               C7
To my land full of rainy skies and gales

    F            C7                  F
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow

          F                 F7  F/A          Bb
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell
[Chorus]
Gm   C   C/Bb F/A   Dm7  Gm/Bb             C7
 For you are  beautiful, I have loved you dearly

     F                Cm            F         Cm
I've heard there's a wicked war a-blazing

        F               F7   F/A     Bb
And the taste of war I know so very well

Bb                                        Bb6
Even now I see that foreign flag a-raising

       Gm                        C7
Their guns on fire as we sail into Hell

  F                C7                    F
I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow

                    F7      F/A     Bb
But how bitter will be this last farewell
[Chorus]

More dearly than the spoken word can tell
[Verse 3]
        F                  Cm            F      Cm
Though death and darkness gather all about me

         F          F7    F/A       Bb
And my ship be torn apart upon the seas

Bb                                                 Bb6
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands

         Gm/Bb                G               C7
And the heaving waves that brought me once to thee

           F             C7              F
And should I return safe home again to England

          F                F7        F/A         Bb
I shall watch the English mist roll through the Dale
[Chorus]

More dearly than the spoken word can tell
