LIVING ON THE ISLAND
G
1. Day by day they drink and dream, old men staring out to sea,
Am D G
from the island, living on the island.
And down in the harbour, it's
a show,
watching all the people as
they come and go,
Am D G
on the island, living on the island;
G
2. And up in the mountains, they're alright,
tasting the first of the
summer wine,
Am D G
on the island, living on the island.
D C
I wanna feel that sunshine in
my heart,
G D
and let it blow my worries
away,
F C G-D
I wanna spend a night in the
ocean with he....r.
G
3. That little lady lover, who's in love with me,
prettiest little lady that
I've ever seen,
Am D G
on the island, living on the island:
And when I finally sail away,I
know for sure I'll be back someday,
Am D Em E
on the island, living on the island,
Am D G
on the island, living on the island..... (repeat and fade)
