[Verse 1]
          F                    C            F
There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor
  F                          Bb
Tomorrow for Old England she sails
     Bb
Far away from your land of endless sunshine
   Bb              Gm              C
To my land full of rainy skies and gales
    F           C7                F
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow
          F                                  Bb
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell

[Chorus]
Gm   C   C7  F     Dm   Gm               C
 For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
     Gm              C               F    Dm
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
Gm   C   C7  F     Dm   Bb               C
 For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
     Gm              C              [ F ]
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

[Verse 2]
     F               Cm           F       Cm7
I've heard there's a wicked war a-blazing
        F                           Bb
And the taste of war I know so very well
     Bb
Even now I see that foreign flag a-raising
      Gm7                          C
Their guns on fire as we sail into Hell
  F               C7                  F
I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow
        F                            Bb
But how bitter will be this last farewell

[Chorus]
Gm   C   C7  F     Dm   Gm               C
 For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
     Gm              C               F    Dm
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
Gm   C   C7  F     Dm   Bb               C7
 For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
     Gm7             C7             [ F ]
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

[Verse 3]
       F                  Cm7         F       Cm7
Though death and darkness gather all about me
       F                           Bb
And my ship be torn apart upon the sea
        Bb
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
        Gm                                    C7
And the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
           F             C7            F
And should I return safe home again to England
        F                                       Bb
I shall watch the English mist roll through the Dales

[Chorus]
Gm   C   C7  F     Dm   Gm               C
 For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
     Gm              C               F    Dm
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
Gm   C   C7  F     Dm   Bb               C7
 For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
     Gm7             C7             [ F ]
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
