[Verse 1]
[Em]I couldn't walk across the surface[A]
at [Bm]first of this [Em]land
I couldn't attempt the wa[A]ters
I [Bm]wouldn't have stood a [Em]chance
The frankincense trees are [A]valuable
The [Bm]aro ma of the [Em]grounds
The dragon's blood trees
from [C#dim]their han[A]ds
Catching [Bm]moisture[Em][Bm][G][A]
[Em][Bm][G][A][Em][A][Em]
These trees won't [D]keep
me [A]alive for [G]long
[Em]This island [D]is so dim to
[A]where [G]I'm from
[Em]These tears won't [D]keep
me [A]alive for [G]long
[Em]This island is [D]so different
to [A]where [G]I'm [Em]from
I found my way through the [A]iron supply
[Bm]Why [Em]the heat had taken
[A]it s [Bm]toll[Em]
Hunger crept [A]upon me
When my [Bm]seashell was so [Em]close
The succulent house of the in[A]habitants
The [Bm]monarch was [Em]told me so
[Bm]Ooooooo
[Em]Ooooooo
[Bm]Ooooooo
[Em]Ooooooo[A][Em][A][Em]
These trees won't [D]keep
me [A]alive for [G]long
[Em]This island [D]is so deep to [A]where [G]I'm from
[Em][D][A][G][Em][D][A]
[G][Em][D][A][G][A]
Oooh, [D]oooh, oooh
[A][G][Em][D][A][G][Em][D]
[A]The[G]se[Em]
cheeks will [D]keep me [A]alive for [G]life
[Em]This [D]island is so different
to [A]where [G]I'm from
[Em]These trees will keep
[D]me ali[A]ve for lon[G]g
[Em]This island [A]is [D]so different
to [A]where [G]I'm [Em]from you
