The 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 l[C]and of [C/B]endless s[Am]unshine,[Am7]
To my l[Am]and [Am+7]full of r[Am7]ainy [Am7/G]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:
[D9]For [Am7]you a[D7]re b[G]eauti[Em]ful, [C]I have [C/B]loved you d[Am7]early,
More d[C]early t[C/B]han the [Am7]spoken w[D7]ord can t[G]ell.[Am7] [G]
[D9]For [Am7]you a[D7]re b[G]eauti[Em]ful, [C]I have [C/B]loved you d[Am7]early,
More d[C]early t[C/B]han the [Am7]spoken w[D7]ord can t[G]ell.[Am7] [G] [D7]
[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 f[C]oreign [C/B]flag a-r[Am]aising,[Am7]
Their g[Am]uns on f[Am+7]ire as [Am7]we sail [Am7/G]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[C]agrance[C/B] of these [Am]islands[Am7]
And the h[Am]eaving w[Am+7]aves that br[Am7]ought me[Am7/G] 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:
