Isle of Capri

't Was on the Isle of Capri that I found her
Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree
Oh, I can still see the flowers blooming round her
Where we met on the Isle of Capri

She was as sweet as a rose at the dawning
But somehow fate hadn't meant her for [Dm7]me
And though I sailed with the tide in the morning
Still my [A]heart's on [C7]the Isle of Capri

Summertime was [Am7]nearly over
Blue Italian sky above
I said "Lady, I'm a ɾover,
Can you [A7spare a sweet word of love?"

She whispered softly "It's best not to [C7]linger"
And then as I kissed her hand [Bm]I could see
She wore a lovely meatball [Em]on [C7]her finger
't Was goodbye at the Villa Capri

Summertime was [Am7]nearly over
Blue Italian sky above
I said "Lady, I'm a ɾover,
Can you [A7spare a fine word of love?"

She whispered softly "It's best not to [C7]linger"
And then as I kissed her hand [Bm]I could see
She wore a plain golden ɾing on [C7]her finger
't Was goodbye on [C7]the Isle of Capri (3x)
