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 
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 
We both go down together 

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
