{t:The Last Farewell}
{st:ken}
 {artist:Roger Whittaker}
 
[G]There's a ship lies rigged and [D7]ready  in the h[G]arbor;
 [G]Tomorrow for old England she [C]sails,
[C]Far away from your and of endless sunshine, 
 [C]To my land full of [Am]rainy skies and g[D7]ales.
 And [G]I shall be ab[D7]oard that ship tomo[G]rrow,
 [G]Though my heart is full of tears at this farew[C]ell [Am]
 
 Refrain:
 
 [D7]For  you are b[Bm]eauti[Em]ful, [Am]I have loved you [D7]dearly,
 More d[Am]early than the [D7]spoken word can t[G]ell. [Am]
[D7]For  you are [Bm]beauti[Em]ful, [Am]I have loved you [D7]dearly,
More d[Am]early than the [D7]spoken word can t[G]ell.
 
 [G]I've heard there's a w[D7]icked  war a-bl[G]azing,
 [G]And the taste of war I know so very [C]well;
 [C]Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising, 
 [C]Their guns on fire [Am]as we sail into he[D7]ll.
 [G]I have no fear of de[D7]ath, it brings no s[G]orrow;
 [G]But how bitter will be this last [C]farewell [Am]
 
 Refrain:
 
 [D7]For  you are b[Bm]eauti[Em]ful, [Am]I have loved you [D7]dearly,
 More d[Am]early than the [D7]spoken word can t[G]ell. [Am]
[D7]For  you are [Bm]beauti[Em]ful, [Am]I have loved you [D7]dearly,
More d[Am]early than the [D7]spoken word can t[G]ell.

 
 [G]Though death and darkness g[D7]ather  all [G]around me,
 [G]And my ship be torn apart upon the s[C]eas,
 [C]I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands 
[C]That I return home [Am]safe again to [D7]ye
[G]And when I get back [D7]again to good old [C]England
 [C]I shall watch the English mist roll through the de[C]ll [Am]

Refrain:
 
 [D7]For  you are b[Bm]eauti[Em]ful, [Am]I have loved you [D7]dearly,
 More d[Am]early than the [D7]spoken word can t[G]ell. [Am]
[D7]For  you are [Bm]beauti[Em]ful, [Am]I have loved you [D7]dearly,
More d[Am]early than the [D7]spoken word can t[G]ell.
