't was on the Isle of Capri that I found her
D A7
Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree
A7
Oh, I can still see the flowers blooming round her
A7 D A7 D
Where we met on the Isle of Capri
D
She was as sweet as a rose at the dawning
D A7
But somehow fate hadn't meant her for me
A7
And though I sailed with the tide in the morning
A7 D A7 D
Still my heart's on the Isle of Capri
G D
Summertime was nearly over
G D
Blue Italian sky above
G D
I said "Lady, I'm a rover,
E A7
Can you spare a sweet word of love?"
D
She whispered softly "It's best not to linger"
D A7
And then as I kissed her hand I could see
A7
She wore a lovely meatball on her finger
A7 D A7 D
so goodbye at the villa Capri
G D
Summertime was nearly over
G D
Blue Italian sky above
G D
I said "Lady, I'm a rover,
E A7
Can you spare a sweet word of love?"
D
She whispered softly "It's best not to linger"
D A7
And then as I kissed her hand I could see
A7
She wore a plain golden ring on her finger
A7 D A7 D
so goodbye on the Isle of Capri
