Intro: E

 E
Day by day they drink and dream,
E
Old men staring out to sea,
         F#m    B              E
From the island, living on the island,

     E
And down in the harbour, it's a show,
 E
Watching all the people as they come and go,
       F#m    B              E
On the island, living on the island,

    E
And up in the mountains, they're alright,
 E
Tasting the first of the summer wine,
       F#m    B              E
On the island, living on the island,

         B                 A
I wanna feel that sunshine in my heart,
             E               B
And let it blow my worries away,
          D                  A           B
I wanna spend a night in the ocean with her,

      E
That little lady lover who's in love with me,
  E
Prettiest little lady that I've ever seen,
       F#m    B              E
On the island, living on the island,

B A E B D A B

           E
Ooh, and when I finally sail away,
    E
I know for sure I'll be back someday,
       F#m    B              C#
On the island, living on the island,
       F#m    B                      E
On the island, I'll be living on the island,
       F#m    B                      E
On the island, I'll be living on the island,
                             F#m B       E
And feel the sunshine on my back, on the island,
                              F#m B
And feel the wind blow in my hair,
              E
Living on the island.
