Liam Clancy - My Island


CAPO: 2nd Fret





[INTRO:] DmDm G+G  C majorC

[VERSE 1:]
  E minorEm    G+G          C majorC
An ocean of streets surround my island
    DmDm       G+G        C majorC
And the waves of people wash against my door
    FF         G+G         C majorC
And the tides of days and nights they go so slowly
     DmDm                  G+G
And this bothers me for I know there's so much more

[CHORUS:]
N.C.   DmDm       G+G
Some have islands in the sky
     C majorC    ~   A minorAm
Some have islands in the sea
    FF        G+G
But my island's always here
    FF       DmDm
And my dream is to be free
   G+G        C majorC
Sail away, boy, sail away
   DmDm    G7G7   C majorC
Sail away, boy, sail away


[VERSE 2:]
  E minorEm      G+G             C majorC
How often I have thought and tried to leave here
    DmDm G+G      C majorC
Take my girl and beat my feet
  FF          G+G         C majorC
And board the good ship Chance and make my voyage
  DmDm             G+G
And sail all the way across the street


[CHORUS:]
N.C.   DmDm       G+G
Some have islands in the sky
     C majorC    ~   A minorAm
Some have islands in the sea
    FF        G+G
But my island's always here
    FF       DmDm
And my dream is to be free
   G+G        C majorC
Sail away, boy, sail away
   DmDm    G7G7   C majorC
Sail away, boy, sail away

[VERSE 3:]
  E minorEm        G+G          C majorC
Sometimes I think and find that conscience is
  DmDm       G+G     C majorC
The most important thing to a man
  FF           G+G         C majorC
To know you've stayed and tried and died to live
   DmDm             G+G
On a crowded beach of artificial sand


[CHORUS:]
N.C.   DmDm       G+G
Some have islands in the sky
     C majorC    ~   A minorAm
Some have islands in the sea
    FF        G+G
But my island's always here
    FF       DmDm
And my dream is to be free
   G+G        C majorC
Sail away, boy, sail away
   DmDm    G7G7   C majorC
Sail away, boy, sail away
   DmDm    G7G7   C majorC
Sail away, boy, sail away
   DmDm    G7G7   C majorC
