VERSE 1
********
G+G 
E minorEm
You always were a city kid
C majorC 
D MajorD
Though you were country raised
G+G E minorEm
And back in some forgotten time
C majorC D MajorD
We shared the cold north days
------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
G+G E minorEm
But the simple life was not your style
C majorC D MajorD
And you just had to escape
G+G C majorC B minorBm A minorAm D MajorD G+G
So it`s goodbye to my lady of the islands
------------------------------------------------
VERSE 2
********
G+G E minorEm
On Remembrance Day the bands all played
C majorC D MajorD
The bells pealed through the park
G+G E minorEm
And you lay there by the `Do Not` signs
C majorC D MajorD
And shamed them with your spark
------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
G+G E minorEm
Now, winter moans in old men`s bones
C majorC D MajorD
As the day falls into dark
G+G C majorC B minorBm A minorAm D MajorD G+G
And it`s goodbye to my lady of the islands
------------------------------------------------
BRIDGE
*******
B minorBm E minorEm
It was just like this behind
A minorAm D MajorD
The kisses you so soon swept away
B minorBm E minorEm
Oh I always knew that some day
A minorAm D MajorD A minorAm B minorBm A minorAm
You`d be bound to just get pulled away
------------------------------------------------
VERSE 3
********
G+G E minorEm
The summer sun beats on and on
C majorC D MajorD
The shops swim in the heat
G+G E minorEm
And you`re standin` by the traffic signs
C majorC D MajorD
With taxes at your feet
------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
G+G E minorEm
Well, I know that in your city skin
C majorC D MajorD
You`re feeling more complete
G+G C majorC B minorBm A minorAm D MajorD G+G
So it`s goodbye to my lady of the islands
