Island In The Sun Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]This is my island [G]in the sun
Where my people [A]have toiled
[Ab]sinc[D]e time begun
Though I may sail on [G]many seas
The [D]shores will always [A]be home to [D]me[C#]
O island [F#]in th[G]e sun,[F#]
[G]wil[Ab]led to me by my Fat[Db]her's hand.
[D]All my day[C#]s I will sin[F#]g in praise
[G]of your for[Ab]est waters,
[D]your shining [Db]sand.
When morning breaks the [Gb]heaven on high,
[Ab]I lift my head low to th[C#]e sky.
Sun comes down with [F#]burning [G]glow
[D]Mingles my sweat with
the [Ab]earth be[D]low[C#]
Oh island [G]in the [Gb]sun
[A]Will you [Ab]meet by my [Db]father's hand?
All my days I've [Gb]been singing praise
Of your [A]forest [Ab]waters, your [Db]shining sand
I see woman unbend[Gb]ing [G]knee
[Ab]Cut ting plane for h[Db]er family
[D]I see m[Db]an at the w[Gb]ater's side
[G]Cast[Db] ing nets at the sur[Ab]ging tid[A]e[D]
[Bb]Oh, [Eb]I long in th[Ab]e sun
[A]Willed [Bb]to me b[A]y my f[D]ather's hand
[Eb]All my days I will[D] sing [G]in praise
[Ab]Of your fo[A]rest w[Bb]onders, your shining sand[Eb]
I hope the day will [Ab]never come
[Bb]That I can wake to the [D]sound of drum
[Eb]Never let me miss [Ab]Honeywell
With ca[Eb]lypso sounds, [D]dill -o [A]-sophie [Eb]girl
[B]Oh, [Eb]isla[E]nd in th[A]e sun[Ab]
[A]Filled [Bb]to me by my fathe[Eb]r's hand
All my days I [Ab]will sing in praise
Of your [Bb]forest waters, your [E]shining [Eb]sand
All my days I will [Ab]sing in praise
Of your [Bb]forest waters, your [Eb]shining sand
La la la la la la [Ab]la la...
