FOREIGN LANDER

G D C G

I’ve been a foreign lander For seven years or more

G C G D

Among the brave commanders Where wild beasts howl and roar

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

.

G D C G

I cannot build a ship of love Without the wood of trees

G C G D

The ship would burst asunder Should I prove false to thee

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

.

G D C G

Have you heard the mourning dove She’s flying from pine to pine

G C G D

She’s mourning for her own love The way I moan for mine

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
