Intro:
Am riff
Am riff

Am
Here on these cliffs of Dover
Em
So high you can't see over
Am
And while your head is spinning
Em
Hold tight, it's just beginning

Am riff
Am riff

Am
You come from parents wanton
Em
A childhood rough and rotten
Am
I come from wealth and beauty
Em           G
Untouched by work or duty

    C      Em       F     G
And oh, my love, my love
    C      Em       F
And oh, my love, my love
   E              Am riff
We both go down together

Am riff

Am
I found you a tattooed tramp
Em
A dirty daughter from the labor camps
Am
I laid you down in the grass of a clearing
Em                G
You wept but your soul was willing

    C      Em       F     G
And oh, my love, my love
    C      Em       F
And oh, my love, my love
   E              F
We both go down together

                             Am
And my parents will never consent to this love
F               G    E
And I hold your hand

Am
Meet me on my vast veranda
Em
My sweet untouched Miranda
Am
And while the seagulls are crying
Em              G
We fall but our souls are flying

    C      Em       F     G
And oh, my love, my love
    C      Em       F     G
And oh, my love, my love
    C      Em       F     G
And oh, my love, my love
    C      Em       F
And oh, my love, my love
   E            Am
We both go down together
