D
't was on the Isle of Capri that I met her 
D                                  A7
Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree
A7
She was sweet as the flowers growing 'round her
A7       D          A7          D
Where we met on the Isle of Capri 

[Verse 2]
D
She was as sweet as a rose in the dawning 
D                                    A7
But somehow fate never meant her for me 
A7
So I sailed with the tide in the morning
A7       D              A7          D
Still my heart's on the Isle of Capri 

[Chorus]
G                     D
Summertime was nearly over 
G                  D
Blue Italian skies above 
G                   D
I said "Lady, I'm a rover, 
E                             A7
Can you spare a sweet word of love?" 

[Verse 3]
D
She whispered softly and fast not to linger
D                                 A7
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 to the Isle Capri
