I Will    (Listen to sample)

 

          Em              C                         G         D          Em

1. I'm going to an island where the sun will always shine,

                      Am                    C                 Em

    where the moon is always riding on the sea.

                                 C                                G              D           Em

    And when I go I'll leave behind, these chains that hold me down,

          Am                        C                 Em

    the time has come to set my spirit free,

   D - C - Em       D - C - Em      D - C - B7    Em

    I                      I                       I                 I will.

            Em                     C                             G         D           Em

2. And there beside a mountain stream, I'll build a house of stone,

            Am                        C                    Em

    and work the wood of cedar, pine and fir.

                                     C                       G        D         Em

    And then I'll make a garden, and I'll plant a field of corn,

     Am                             C                 Em

    press my hands deep into Mother Earth.

    D - C - Em     D - C - Em     D - C - B7         Em

                   C                                        B7            Em

    I want to be a part of Nature once again, and I will.

 

            Em                         C                        G       D         Em

3. And then I'll teach my children love, like every father should,

         Am                   C               Em

    for we are part of every living thing.

                                       C                          G              D          Em

    And speak of half-forgotten words, like peace and joy and good,

                Am                   C                          Em

    for the world can only live when love can sing,

    D - C - Em     D - C - Em     D - C - B7         Em

                        G                                         B7

    oh they will feel a part of Nature once again  (the time is now),

               C                                        B7             Em - C - G - Em

    just to be a part of Nature once again, and I will,

     Am          C   Em

    some day     I will.
