My Island Liam Clancy
[INTRO:] Dm G C
[VERSE 1:]
An [Em]ocean of [G]streets surround my [C]island
And the [Dm]waves of people [G]wash against my [C]door
And the [F]tides of days and [G]nights they go so [C]slowly
And this [Dm]bothers me for I know there's so much [G]more
[CBORUS:]
N.C. Dm G
Some have islands in the sky
C ~ Am
Some have islands in the sea
But my [F]island's always [G]here
And my [F]dream is to be [Dm]free
Sail a[G]way, boy, sail a[C]way
Sail a[Dm]way, boy,[G7] sail a[C]way
[VERSE 2:]
How [Em]often I have [G]thought and tried to leave [C]here
Take my [Dm]girl[G] and beat my [C]feet
And [F]board the good ship [G]Chance and make my [C]voyage
And [Dm]sail all the way across the [G]street
[CBORUS:]
N.C. Dm G
Some have islands in the sky
C ~ Am
Some have islands in the sea
But my [F]island's always [G]here
And my [F]dream is to be [Dm]free
Sail a[G]way, boy, sail a[C]way
Sail a[Dm]way, boy,[G7] sail a[C]way
[VERSE 3:]
Some[Em]times I think and [G]find that conscience [C]is
The [Dm]most important [G]thing to a [C]man
To [F]know you've stayed and [G]tried and died to [C]live
On a [Dm]crowded beach of artificial [G]sand
[CBORUS:]
N.C. Dm G
Some have islands in the sky
C ~ Am
Some have islands in the sea
But my [F]island's always [G]here
And my [F]dream is to be [Dm]free
Sail a[G]way, boy, sail a[C]way
Sail a[Dm]way, boy,[G7] sail a[C]way
Sail a[Dm]way, boy,[G7] sail a[C]way
Sail a[Dm]way, boy,[G7] sail a[C]way
