Isle of Capri
Words & Music by Jimmy Kennedy & Will Grosz
Recorded by Frank Sinatra, 1958
A7 A7+5 D Edim A7 D G
`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+5 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.
Bridge:
G G/F# D G Edim D
Summertime was nearly over, blue Italian sky above;
G G/F# D E7 Bm7-5 A7
I said "Lady, I'm a rover, can you spare a sweet word of love?"
A7 A7+5 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.
