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)
