A E A D A E A
I will live my life as a lobster mans wife on an island in the blue bay
A E A7 D A E
He will take care of me He will smell like the sea And close to my heart he'll
E
always stay
A E A D A E A
I will bear three girls all with strawberry curls Little Ella and Nelly and Faye
A E A7 D A E A
While I'm combing their hair I will catch his warm stare on our island in the blue bay
Chorus:
E E7 D A E A
Far away far away I wanna go far away to a new life on a new shoreline
E E7 D A
Where the water is blue and the people are new
E D (hold)
To another island in another life
A E A D A E A
There's a boy next to me and he never will be anything but a boy at the bar
A E A7 D
And I think hes the tops he's where everything stops
A E A
How I love to love him from afar
A E A D A E A
When he walks right past me then I finally see on this bar stool I can't stay
A E A7 D A E A
So Im taking my frown to a far distant town on an island in the blue bay
Chorus
