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
