          G           D         C              G
I’ve been a foreign lander For seven years or more

  G                   C            G                    D
 Among the brave commanders Where wild beats howl and roar

      Am               Em          G             D - C
I’ve conquered all my enemies On land and on the sea

      G              D        F   -   C        G
But you my dearest jewel Tis you have conquered me

    G            D             C                  G
I cannot build a ship of love Without the wood of trees

      G               C            G                  D
The ship would burst asunder Should I prove false to thee

    Am           Em                G          D - C
If ever I prove false love The elements would moan

     G                 D             F    -    C             G
The fire would turn to ice love The seas would rage and burn

  G                     D             C                      G  
Have you heard the mourning dove She’s flying from pine to pine

        G               C           G               D
She’s mourning for her own love The way I mourn for mine

        Am      Em              G               D - C
I lie awake out in the night I see the shining stars

  G             D            F  -  C       G
I wonder if you see them too Wherever you are

          G           D         C              G
I’ve been a foreign lander For seven years or more

  G                   C            G                    D
 Among the brave commanders Where wild beats howl and roar

      Am               Em          G             D - C
I’ve conquered all my enemies On land and on the sea

      G              D        F   -   C        G
But you my dearest jewel Tis you have conquered me
