Isle Of Capri Chords

written by Grosz, Wilhelm / Kennedy, Jimmy

D
'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
