LIVING ON THE ISLAND    (Listen to sample)

 

     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)
