         G/C                                        Em                D    A E
Oh yeah, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo  x2

 F           C             G
Sha-la-la-la-la-la my lady, in the sun with your hair undone
 F                   Am                        G            D  -E
Can you hear me now calling your name, from across the bay
F                C                    G              Em       D      G/C
 A summer's day laughing and a-hidin', chasing love, out on Thunder Island

(G/C)                                       Em                D       A E
doo doo doo doo,  Doo doo doo, doo doo doo, Doo doo doo doo, doo  x3

 F                        C            G
She was the color of the Indian summer, and we shared the hours without number
 F                      Am                          G             D  -E
Until one day when the skies turned dark, and the winds grew wild
 F                        C                     G                        Em       D       C
Caught by the rain and blinded by the lightnin', we rode the storm out there on Thunder Island

  Solo:  C  G  D D (x3)

F(hold)           C(hold)               G(hold)
 I held her close  until the storm passed, and we fell down laughing in the wet grass
 F(hold)           Am(hold)        G(hold)               D  E
  Both our bodies drying in the sunshine, sweet sunshine

 F           C             G
Sha-la-la-la-la-la my lady, in the sun with your dress undone
 F               Am                         G               D  -E
Now, every mile away and every day, cuts a little bit deeper
F                    C                    G             Em       D      G/C
 I'll remember the nights in the cool sand, making love out on Thunder Island 

(G/C)                                       Em                D       A E
doo doo doo doo,  Doo doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo  x3
