Island Of The Honest Man chords by Hot Hot Heat

I was picked up and then dropped off in a
                      B F#m
culture counter-clockwise turned around
   C#m
Dug a hole in Southern Carolina,
E                      B F#m
took me straight to China safe and sound
A     E                B F#m
Donated my map to the lost and found

C#m
While working for a common cause
    E                  B F#m
I only got a kamikaze state of mind
     C#m
This self defeating meeting of the minds
  E                    B F#m
is eating what was once so hard to find
  A           E         B F#m
But right then the clouds parted in the sky

A        E         B
The horizon took us all a little by surprise
   Cº        C#m
By surprise, watch the sky
And as the howling winds subdsided,
the locals ran out, all waving their hands and singing:

E              A
Welcome to the island of the honest man
E               A
Do what you want - there is no need to impress us
E              A
Welcome to the island of the honest man
E              A
We don't believe in what the big people tell us
B      Cº
Wait here - stay here

I was picked up and then dropped off in a

     C#m
Rolled a pair of dice in Paris
     E                 B F#m
that got me to paradise all safe and sound.
A        E              B F#m
Stole my temper back from the lost and found

A
No longer needed to be seated on a
E                 B
sinking ship just waiting there to drown
     Cº        C#m
There to drown - jump off now
And as they lead us to their village,
a thousand voices all started to sing out loud:

E              A
Welcome to the island of the honest man
E               A
Do what you want - there is no need to impress us
E              A
Welcome to the island of the honest man
E              A
We don't believe in what the big people tell us
B      Cº
Wait here - stay here

C#m                      E
From the sunrise up above to the sunset below, they all sing
C#m                       E
Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go
C#m                        E
And all the people on the island they already know why they sing
C#m                       E
Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go
C#m                      E
From the sunrise up above to the sunset below, they all sing
C#m                       E
Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go
C#m                          E
And all the people on the island they all want to show why they sing,
C#m
why they sing, why they sing, why they're singing

E              A
Welcome to the island of the honest man
E               A
Do what you want - there is no need to impress us
E              A
Welcome to the island of the honest man
E              A
We don't believe in what the big people tell us

E              A

E             A

Welcome to the island of the honest man
E             A
This is the island of the honest man
B      Cº
