Written by Chris de Burgh
Intro: E E Day by day they drink and dream, E Old men staring out to sea, F#m B E From the island, living on the island, E And down in the harbour, it's a show, E Watching all the people as they come and go, F#m B E On the island, living on the island, E And up in the mountains, they're alright, E Tasting the first of the summer wine, F#m B E On the island, living on the island, B A I wanna feel that sunshine in my heart, E B And let it blow my worries away, D A B I wanna spend a night in the ocean with her, E That little lady lover who's in love with me, E Prettiest little lady that I've ever seen, F#m B E On the island, living on the island, B A E B D A B E Ooh, and when I finally sail away, E I know for sure I'll be back someday, F#m B C# On the island, living on the island, F#m B E On the island, I'll be living on the island, F#m B E On the island, I'll be living on the island, F#m B E And feel the sunshine on my back, on the island, F#m B And feel the wind blow in my hair, E Living on the island.
