The Last Farewell
Recorded by Roy Drusky
Written by Ronald Arthur Webster and Roger Whittaker

C                              G7           C
There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor
                             F
Tomorrow for old England she sails
        
Far away from your land of endless sunshine
                   Dm              G7
To my land full of rainy skies and gales
    C          G7               C
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow
                                         F       Dm
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell

    G7      Em    Am  Dm               G7
For you are beautiful I have loved you dearly
     Dm              G7              C   Dm
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
    G7      Em    Am  Dm               G7
For you are beautiful I have loved you dearly
     Dm              G7              C
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

                          G7           C
I've heard that there's a wicked war a-blazing
                                    F
And the taste of war I know so very well

Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising
                   Dm              G7
Their guns on fire as we sail into hell
  C               G7                 C
I have no fear of death it brings no sorrow
                                 F       Dm
But how bitter will be this last farewell

                          G7          C
Though death and darkness gather all around me
                                   F
And my ship be torn apart upon the seas

I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
                   Dm            G7
That I return home safe again to ye 
         C          G7                C
And when I get back again to good old England    
                                                F   Dm
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale

repeat #2
