`Twas on the Isle of Capri that I found her
A7 D B7 Em7 A7
Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree
Em7 Edim A7
Oh, I can still see the flow'rs bloomin' round her
Edim D A7 D A7
Where we met on the Isle of Capri
A7
A7/13- D Edim A7 D G
She was as sweet as a rose at the dawning
A7 D Cdim Em7 A7
But somehow fate hadn't meant her for me
Em7 Edim A7
And though I sailed with the tide in the morning
Edim D A7 D A7
Still my heart's on the Isle of Capri

I said "Lady, I'm a rover, can you spare a sweet word of love"

A7/13- D Edim A7 D G
She whispered softly "It's best not to linger"
A7 D Cdim Em7 A7
And then as I kissed her hand I could see

She wore a lovely meatball on her finger
Edim D A7 D
'Twas goodbye at the Villa Capri
