Island by Jimmy Buffett. Hope you guys enjoy. Been trying to figure this out for some time and I am still not sold on the E7 but its the closest thing I could get to it. If you find something closer let me know! D Island, I see you in the distance I feel that your existence G Is not unlike my own D Island, they say no man is like you They say you stand alone G Sometimes I feel that way too
A It's the need for love Em7 Heart and soul accompaniment Bm A E Seems to make me different from you Bm A Well, I tried to book passage but you have no ports D E And I tried to sail in but your wind and waters A Tore my sails and broke all my oars D Island, I see you in the moonlight Silhouettes of ships in the night G Just make me want that much more D Island, I see you in all of my dreams Maybe someday I'll have the means G To reach your distant shores A It's the need for love Em7 Heart and soul accompaniment Bm A E No longer makes me different from you Bm A Well, I tried to build bridges but they all fell down D E And I've taken to the air on wings of silver A But I always hit the ground Interlude solo: D, G, D, G Bm A Well, I tried to book passage but you have no ports D E And I tried to sail in but your wind and waters A Tore my sails and broke all my oars D Island, I see you in the moonlight Silhouettes of ships in the night G
