Intro: just play A for 4 measures
Verse 1:
       C5       G5         A5          F5
I will live my life as a lobsterman's wife
      C5      G5           C5    G5
on an island in the blue bay.
        C5            G5
He will take care of me,
        A5            F5
he will smell like the sea,
    C5           G5                  C5
And close to my heart he'll always stay.

       C5          G5             A5         F5
I will bear three girls all with strawberry curls,
       C5        G5         C5     G5
little Ella and Nelly and Faye.
          C5             G5            A5            F5
While I'm combing their hair, I will catch his warm stare
       C5      G5           C5
On our island in the blue bay.

Chorus:
     G5                      A5   C5
Far away far away, I want to go far away.
     C5                 G5
To a new life on a new shore line.
          G5                     A5        C5
Where the water is blue and the people are new.
     G5            F5    F5              C5
To another island, in another life.
Verse 2:
          C5          G5          A5        F5
There's a boy next to me and he never will be
   C5           G5          C5    G5
anything but a boy at the bar.
      C5              G5
And I think he's the tops,
           A5        F5
he's where everything stops.
      C5       G5             C5    G5
How I love to love him from afar.

        C5                G5         A5     F5
When he walks right pass me then I finally see
       C5                  G5
on this bar stool I can't stay.
       C5         G5          A5         F5
So I'm taking my frown to a far distant town
      C5      G5           C5
On an island in the blue bay.
(Chorus)
Bridge:
C5
I want to go far away.
A5                               G5
Away away, I want to go far away, away, away
                 C5
I want to go far away, far away.

          G5                     A5        C5
Where the water is blue and the people are new.
        G5                     A5    C5
To another life, to another life.
        G5
To another shore line

In another life.
