My Island

[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
