The Last Farewell by Roger Whittaker
The Last Farewell
[Intro]
in G
[Verse 1]
G C G C G
There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor
C C7 F
tomorrow for ol' England she sails
Dm F Dm F
far away from your land of endless sunshine
Dm F G
to my land full of rainy skies and gales
C G C G
and I shall be on board that ship tomorrow
C C7 F
though my heart is full of tears at this farewell
[Chorus]
Dm G C Am Dm G7
For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
Dm G7 C
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
Dm G C Am Dm G7
for you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
Dm G7 C
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
[Verse 2]
G C G C G
I heard there's a wicked war a blazing
C C7 F
and the taste of war I know so very well
Dm F Dm F
Even now I see that foreign flag a raising
Dm F G
their guns on fire as we sailed into hell
C G C G
I have no fear of death it brings no sorrow
C C7 F
but how bitter will be this last farewell
[Chorus]
Dm G C Am Dm G7
For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
Dm G7 C
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
Dm G C Am Dm G7
for you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
Dm G7 C
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
[Verse 3]
G C G C G
Though death and darkness gather all about me
C C7 F
and my ship be torn apart upon the sea
Dm F Dm F
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
Dm F G
in the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
C G C G
and should I return safe home again to England
C C7 F
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale
[Chorus]
Dm G C Am Dm G7
For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
Dm G7 C
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
Dm G C Am Dm G7
for you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
Dm G7 C
more dearly than the spoken word can tell
