Last farewell  Roger Whittaker



[D7]There's a [G]ship lies rigged and [D7]ready [Am7]in the h[G]arbor;
[D7]Tom[G]orrow for old [G7]England she [C]sails,
Far a[Am]way from your la[Am7]nd of endless sunshine,[Am]
To my l[C]and full of rainy skies and g[D7]ales.
And [G]I shall be ab[D7]oard that ship tomo[G]rrow,
Though my he[G]art is full of t[G7]ears at this farew[C]ell;
Refrain:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[D7]For [Am7]you a[D7]re b[G]eauti[Em]ful, [Am]I have loved you d[D7]early,
More d[Am]early than the [D7]spoken word can t[G]ell.
[D7]For [Am7]you a[D7]re b[G]eauti[Em]ful, [Am]I have loved you d[D7]early,
More d[Am]early than the [D7]spoken word can t[G]ell.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

[D7]I've h[G]eard there's a w[D7]icked [Am7]war a-bl[G]azing,
[D7]And the ta[G]ste of war I k[G7]now so very [C]well;
Even [Am]now I see the fo[Am7]reign flag a-r[Am]aising,
Their g[C]uns on fire as we sail into he[D7]ll.
[D7]I h[G]ave no fear of de[D7]ath, it b[Am7]rings no s[G]orrow;
[D7]But how b[G]itter will[G7] be this last farew[C]ell,

Repeat Refrain:

[D7]Though de[G]ath and darkness g[D7]ather [Am7]all ab[G]out me,
[D7]My s[G]hip be torn ap[G7]art upon the s[C]eas,
I s[Am]hall smell again the fr[Am7]agrance of these [Am]islands
And the h[C]eaving waves that brought me once to t[D7]hee.
[D7]And sh[G]ould I return safe h[D7]ome ag[Am7]ain to E[G]ngland,
I shall w[G]atch the English [G7]mist roll through the de[C]lls,

Repeat Refrain:

D7 G D7 Am7 G
There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor;

D7 G G7 C
Tomorrow for old England she sails,

Am C C/B Am Am7
Far away from your land of endless sunshine,

Am Am+7 Am7 Am7/G D7
To my land full of rainy skies and gales.

G D7 G
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow,

G G7 C
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell;


Refrain:

D9 Am7 D7 G Em C C/B Am7
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly,

C C/B Am7 D7 G Am7 G
More dearly than the spoken word can tell.

D9 Am7 D7 G Em C C/B Am7
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly,

C C/B Am7 D7 G Am7 G D7
More dearly than the spoken word can tell.


D7 G D7 Am7 G
I've heard there's a wicked war a-blazing,

D7 G G7 C
And the taste of war I know so very well;

Am C C/B Am Am7
Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising,

Am Am+7 Am7 Am7/G D7
Their guns on fire as we sail into hell.

D7 G D7 Am7 G
I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow;

D7 G G7 C
But how bitter will be this last farewell,


Repeat Refrain:


D7 G D7 Am7 G
Though death and darkness gather all about me,

D7 G G7 C
My ship be torn apart upon the seas,

Am C C/B Am Am7
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands

Am Am+7 Am7 Am7/G D7
And the heaving waves that brought me once to thee.

D7 G D7 Am7 G
And should I return safe home again to England,

G G7 C
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dells,
