[C]This is my island [F]in the sun Where my [G7]people have toiled since [C]time begun. [C]I may sail on [Dm]many a sea Her [C]shores will always be [G7]home to [C]me. {start_of_chorus} [C]Oh, island [F]in the sun, [G7]Willed to me by my [C]father's hand [C]All my days I will [F]sing and praise Of your [G7]forests, waters, your [C]shining sands. {end_of_chorus} [C]As morning breaks the [F]heaven on high I [G7]lift my heavy [C]load to the sky. [C]Sun comes down with a [Dm]burning glow [C]Mingles my sweat with the [G7]earth be[C]low. {c:Chorus} [C]I see woman on [f]bended knees [G7]Cutting cane for her [C]family. [C]I see man at the [Dm]water side [C]Casting nets at the [G7]surging [C]tide.
{c:Chorus}
[C]I hope the day will [F]never come
That [G7]I can't awake to the [C]sound of a drum,
[C]Never let me miss [Dm]carnival
With caly[C]pso songs philo[G7]sophi[C]cal.
{c:Chorus}
