I’ve been Ga foreign laDnder For sCeven years or mGore
 AGmong the brave commaCnders Where wGild beats howl and roDar
                     Am            Em               G   D- C  
I’ve conquered all my enemies On land and on the sea
                    G          D     F-           C  G  
But you my dearest jewel Tis you have conquered me
I caGnnot build a Dship of love WCithout the wood of Gtrees
The shGip would burst aCsunder Should GI prove false to tDhee
               Am                  Em            G   D- C  
If ever I prove false love The elements would moan
                      G               D      F-                 C  G  
The fire would turn to ice love The seas would rage and burn
HaGve you heard the mournDing dove She’s Cflying from pine to piGne
She’s moGurning for her oCwn love The Gway I mourn for Dmine
              Am                Em                 G   D- C  
I lie awake out in the night I see the shining stars
               G              D    F-         C  G  
I wonder if you see them too Wherever you are
I’ve been Ga foreign laDnder For sCeven years or mGore
 AGmong the brave commaCnders Where wGild beats howl and roDar
                     Am            Em               G   D- C  
I’ve conquered all my enemies On land and on the sea
                    G          D     F-           C  G  
But you my dearest jewel Tis you have conquered me
