G Em
There's dark and rolling sea
G Em
Between my love and me
G D Em7 G
As I walk through this cold lonesome town
G Em
As I wish for a better day
G Em
I need a place to stay
G D Em7 G G7
if it's just a floor to spread my blanket down
[Chorus]
C G
And if I could beg, steal or borrow
Em C G D
A ticket on some ole' ship or pla-ane
C G
I'd leave ole' London tomorrow
C D G
And I'd fly to my own true love again
[Verse 2]
G Em
Off and on to change my shirt
G Em
Just to wash away the dirt
G D Em7 G
And then it's over to American Express
G Em
And not a letter do I find
G Em
She didn't even send a line
G D Em7 G G7
And I know she has my forwarding address
[Chorus]
C G
And if I could beg, steal or borrow
Em C G D
A ticket on some ole' ship or pla-ane
C G
I'd leave ole' London tomorrow
C D G
And I'd fly to my own true love again
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
G Em
Last night The Troubadour
G Em
Was so full, they barred the door
G D G
And I sang a song that she Loves so well
G Em
And it wouldn't take me long
G Em
To make up another song
G D Em7 G G7
About a sad and a lonesome farewell
[Chorus]
C G
And if I could beg, steal or borrow
Em C G D
A ticket on some ole' ship or pla-ane
C G
I'd leave ole' London tomorrow
C D G
And I'd fly to my own true love again
[Verse 4]
G Em
At my room I close the door
G Em
Spread my blanket on the floor
G D G
Feeling like a man in a cell
G Em
Sleep finally comes to me
G Em
and I drift across the sea
G D Em7 G G7
To the waiting arms of the girl I love so well
[Chorus]
C G
And if I could beg, steal or borrow
Em C G D
A ticket on some ole' ship or pla-ane
C G
I'd leave ole' London tomorrow
C D G
And I'd fly to my own true love again
C D G
Yes I'd fly to my own true love again
