Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]This is my island [F]in the song
[Dm]Where my people [G]have toiled
since [C]time began
[G]I m[Am]ay sail on many a[F] sea[Dm]
Her [C]shores will always [G]be home to [C]me[G]
[C]Oh, is[G]land [F]in the song
[G]Willed to me by my [C]Father's hand
[G]All [Am]my days I will[F] sing in praise
[Dm]Of your fore[G]sts, waters,
your shining [C]sand
As morning [G]breaks, [Am]the heave[F]n on high
[Dm]I li[G]ft my heavy load t[C]o the sky
[G]Sun [Am]comes down with a burn[F]ing glow
[C]Mingles my sweat [Am]with the [G]earth below
[C]Oh, [F]island in the sun
[Dm]Willed [G]to me by my fat[C]her's hand
[G]All [Am]my days I will sing [F]in p[Dm]raise
Of your [G]forests, waters, your shining [C]sands
I see a [F]woman [Dm]on b[F]ended knee
[Dm]Cutting [G]cane for her f[C]amily
[G]I s[Am]ee man at the water[F]'s side[Dm]
[C]Casting [G]nets at the surging tide
[C]Oh, isl[F]and in [Dm]the [F]sun
[Dm]Willed [G]to me by my fat[C]her's hand
[G]All [Am]my days I will sing [Dm]in praise
of [G]your forests, waters, your shining [C]sand
[F]O i[C]sland in t[F]he sun,
[Dm]will[G]ed to me by my Fathe[C]r's hand
[G]All [Am]my days I will[F] sing in p[Dm]raise
of your [G]forests, waters, your shining sand
[C]O isl[F]and in the[Dm] sun,
[G]built to me by my [C]Father's [G]hand,
[Am]all my days I [Dm]will sing in praise
of your [G]forests, waters,
your shining [C]sand.[F]
you
