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...
