[Intro] D (8)
[Verse 1]
D(8) G(4) D(4)
Six years I?ve been in the city and every night I dream of the sea
D(8) A(2) G(2) D(4)
They say home is where you find it, will this place ever satisfy me?
[Verse 2]
D(8) G(4) D(4)
For I come from the salt water people, We always live by the sea
D(8) A(2) G(2) D(4)
Now I'm down here living in the city, With my man and a family
[Chorus]
My island h[Bm(2)]ome, my[A(2)] island hom[D(4)]e. My island h[A(2)]ome, is[G(2)] waiting for[D(4)] me
My island h[Bm(2)]ome, my[A(2)] island hom[D(4)]e. My island h[A(2)]ome, is[G(2)] waiting for[D(4)] me
[Verse 3]
In the e[Bm(2)]vening [A(2)]dry wind blo[D(4)]ws
From the [D(4)]hills and across the [G(4)]plains
I cl[Bm(2)]ose my e[A(2)]yes and I'm s[D(4)]tanding
In a [D(4)]boat on the sea a[G(4)]gain
And I'm h[Bm(2)]olding that[A(2)] long turtle [D(4)]spear
And I f[D(4)]eel I'm close now, to where it must[G(4)] be
My island [Bm(2)]home is[A(2)] waiting for [D(4)]me
[Bridge] ? D(8)
[Verse 2]
[Chorus x2]
