G            C            G  
I want to go back  to the island,  
           C            D             G  
Where the shrimp boats tie up to the pilin'  
Em       
Give me oysters and beer    
    A7                                          D  
For dinner every day of the year  and I'll feel fine  
          D7  
I'll feel fine    
  
Chorus:  
C        D          G  
'Cause I    want to be there  
                                D             
         C                 |1. lie beside  |      Em  
I want to go back down and |2. get high by |   the sea there  
                           |3. die beside  |   
       C                              G       B7       Em  
With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine  
           A7            D            G    C G  
and I'm a' chewin', on a honey-suckle vine  
  
Yeah, now, the sun goes slidin' 'cross the water  
Sailboats, they go searchin' for the breeze  
Salt air it ain't thin, I can stick right to you skin  
And make you feel fine  
It makes you feel fine  
  
(repeat chorus)  
  
Yes, and now you heard my strange proposal  
Get that Packard running and let's move  
I want to be there 'fore the day, tries to steal away  
And leave us behind  
I've made up my mind  
  
(repeat chorus and fade)  
  
ending -->  With a tin cup for a chalice,   
            Fill it up with good red wine
