F#F# E MajorE

Verse 1:
F#F# E MajorE
                F#F# E MajorE
I was first attracted by your scent
                 F#F#  E MajorE
Your heart must be a caramelised onion
             F#F#  E MajorE
By the time I saw your flame
                   F#F# E MajorE
It was all over for you and what's his name

Verse 2:
             F#F# E MajorE
I think it was Algonquin park
             F#F# E MajorE
It was so cold and winter dark
             F#F# E MajorE
A augmentedA promised hibernation high
                     BB A augmentedA   BB A augmentedA
Took me across the great black plate of ice
        F#F# E MajorE
Now I'm the islander

              F#F# E MajorE
I found a place to call my den
                     F#F# E MajorE
And dreamt of the ferry and the enormous man
           F#F# E MajorE
Huge as were his children
             BB A augmentedA  BB A augmentedA
Following around after him
      F#F# E MajorE
I'm the islander

Bridge:
G+G             A augmentedA
I woke up in the furtive spring

More capable of anything

Verse 4:
             F#F# E MajorE
I waited for more men to come
                     F#F# E MajorE
They docked their boats and cocked their guns
                    F#F# E MajorE
The time for truth and reconciliation's gone
                     BB     A augmentedA
But with my belly full I intended to get something done

       F#F# E MajorE
I'm the islander
