`Twas on the Isle of Capri that I found her
  A7      D     B7       Em7     A7
Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree
       Em7          Edim           A7
Oh, I can still see the flow'rs bloomin' round her
Edim   D      A7       D   A7
Where we met on the Isle of Capri
A7 A7/13-   D     Edim  A7     D     G
She was as sweet as a rose at the dawning
   A7   D      Cdim       Em7   A7
But somehow fate hadn't meant her for me
        Em7          Edim        A7
And though I sailed with the tide in the morning
Edim     D           A7      D   A7
Still my heart's on the Isle of Capri

Summertime was nearly over, blue Italian sky above
G             G/F#    D        E7          Bm5-/7          A7
I said "Lady, I'm a rover, can you spare a sweet word of love"
A7 A7/13-   D      Edim    A7         D      G
She whispered softly "It's best not to linger"
  A7      D       Cdim      Em7    A7
And then as I kissed her hand I could see
       Em7            Edim        A7
She wore a lovely meatball on her finger
Edim        D        A7      D
'Twas goodbye at the Villa Capri
