Capo 7

Intro: C

C
Day by day they drink and dream,
C
Old men staring out to sea,
Dm G C
From the island, living on the island,

C
And down in the harbour, it's a show,
C
Watching all the people as they come and go,
Dm G C
On the island, living on the island,

C
And up in the mountains, they're alright,
C
Tasting the first of the summer wine,
Dm G C
On the island, living on the island,

G F
I wanna feel that sunshine in my heart,
C G
And let it blow my worries away,
Bb F G G7
I wanna spend a night in the ocean with her,

C
That little lady lover who's in love with me,
C
Prettiest little lady that I've ever seen,
Dm G C
On the island, living on the island,

G F C G Bb F G G7

C
Ooh, and when I finally sail away,
C
I know for sure I'll be back someday,
Dm G A A7
On the island, living on the island,
Dm G C
On the island, living on the island,
Dm G C
On the island, living on the island,
Dm G C
On the island, living on the island, (I wanna feel that sunshine on my back),
Dm G C
On the island, living on the island,
Dm G C
On the island, we'll be living on the island, (I wanna feel that wind blow in my face),
Dm G C
On the island, living on the island,
Dm G C
On the island, living on the island,
Dm G C
On the island, living on the island...
