Intro: E
E
Day by day they drink and dream,
E
Old men staring out to sea,
F#m B E
From the island, living on the island,
E
And down in the harbour, it's a show,
E
Watching all the people as they come and go,
F#m B E
On the island, living on the island,
E
And up in the mountains, they're alright,
E
Tasting the first of the summer wine,
F#m B E
On the island, living on the island,
B A
I wanna feel that sunshine in my heart,
E B
And let it blow my worries away,
D A B
I wanna spend a night in the ocean with her,
E
That little lady lover who's in love with me,
E
Prettiest little lady that I've ever seen,
F#m B E
On the island, living on the island,
B A E B D A B
E
Ooh, and when I finally sail away,
E
I know for sure I'll be back someday,
F#m B C#
On the island, living on the island,
F#m B E
On the island, I'll be living on the island,
F#m B E
On the island, I'll be living on the island,
F#m B E
And feel the sunshine on my back, on the island,
F#m B
And feel the wind blow in my hair,
E
Living on the island.
