My Island

	  		
 


Intro: Dm  G    C 

verse 1: 
   Em       G                   C 
An ocean of streets surround my island 
        Dm              G               C 
And the waves of people wash against my door 
        F                 G                 C 
And the tides of days and nights they go so slowly 
         Dm                                    G 
And this bothers me for I know there's so much more 

 
N.C.      Dm             G 
Some have islands in the sky 
          C       ~      Am 
Some have islands in the sea 
       F               G 
But my island's always here 
       F              Dm 
And my dream is to be free 
      G               C 
Sail away, boy, sail away 
      Dm       G7     C 
Sail away, boy, sail away 



verse 2: 
    Em           G                          C 
How often I have thought and tried to leave here 
        Dm  G            C 
Take my girl and beat my feet 
    F                   G                  C 
And board the good ship Chance and make my voyage 
    Dm                          G 
And sail all the way across the street 

 
N.C.      Dm             G 
Some have islands in the sky 
          C       ~      Am 
Some have islands in the sea 
       F               G 
But my island's always here 
       F              Dm 
And my dream is to be free 
      G               C 
Sail away, boy, sail away 
      Dm       G7     C 
Sail away, boy, sail away 



verse 3: 
    Em                G                    C 
Sometimes I think and find that conscience is 
    Dm             G          C 
The most important thing to a man 
   F                      G                 C 
To know you've stayed and tried and died to live 
     Dm                          G 
On a crowded beach of artificial sand 


N.C.      Dm             G 
Some have islands in the sky 
          C       ~      Am 
Some have islands in the sea 
       F               G 
But my island's always here 
       F              Dm 
And my dream is to be free 
      G               C 
Sail away, boy, sail away 
      Dm       G7     C 
Sail away, boy, sail away 
      Dm       G7     C 
Sail away, boy, sail away 
      Dm       G7     C 
Sail away, boy, sail away
