Liam Clancy - My Island
CAPO: 2nd Fret
## NOTE: ~ = Walk-Down from C to Am ##
[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
[CHORUS:]
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
[CHORUS:]
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
[CHORUS:]
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
