VERSE 1
********
  G       Em
You always were a city kid
C            D
Though you were country raised
  G      Em
And back in some forgotten time
  C           D
We shared the cold north days

------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
    G        Em
But the simple life was not your style
    C      D
And you just had to escape
    G    C   Bm  Am   D   G
So it`s goodbye to my lady of the islands


------------------------------------------------
VERSE 2
********
G           Em
On Remembrance Day the bands all played
  C            D
The bells pealed through the park
    G         Em
And you lay there by the `Do Not` signs
  C           D
And shamed them with your spark


------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
   G        Em
Now, winter moans in old men`s bones
    C       D
As the day falls into dark
     G    C   Bm  Am   D   G
And it`s goodbye to my lady of the islands


------------------------------------------------
BRIDGE
*******
    Bm       Em
It was just like this behind
        Am      D
The kisses you so soon swept away
   Bm        Em
Oh I always knew that some day
     Am        D   Am  Bm Am
You`d be bound to just get pulled away


------------------------------------------------
VERSE 3
********
G          Em
The summer sun beats on and on
  C         D
The shops swim in the heat
      G        Em
And you`re standin` by the traffic signs
   C       D
With taxes at your feet


------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
    G         Em
Well, I know that in your city skin
    C      D
You`re feeling more complete
    G    C   Bm  Am   D   G
So it`s goodbye to my lady of the islands
