Back To The Island Leon Russell
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now the d[F]ay is gone and I s[Dm7]it alone and think of you girl
What can I [Am7]do without y[Bb]ou [C]in my li[F]fe.
[Dm]I guess that[C#+] our guessing game ju[F/C]st had to end that w[G7]ay
The har[Bb]dest one to [C]lose of [Gm7]all the games we [F]played
But the t[F]ime has passed for l[Dm7]iving in a dream world
And l[Am7]ying to myself, c[Bb]an't [C]make that sc[F]ene
Of w[Dm]ond'ring if you l[C#+]ove me, or j[F/C]ust making a fool of m[G7]e
Well I[Gm7] hope you [C]understand, I just [Gm7]had to go [C]back to the [F]island,
[F]And watch the sun go do[Bb]wn, hear the sea roll i[F]n
But I'll be thinking of y[C7]ou and how it might have be[F]en
Hear the nightbird c[Bb]ry and watch the sunset di[F]e
Well I hop[C7]e you understand I just had to go back to the isl[F]and.
[Dm]For all the sun[F/C]ny skies i[Bb]t's rainin' in my h[F]eart
[Dm]I know down in my so[Bb]ul I'm really gonna miss y[F]ou
But it h[Dm]ad to end this w[F/C]ay wi[Bb]th all the games we pl[F]ayed
Well [F]I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island
[F]And watch the sun go do[Bb]wn, hear the sea roll i[F]n
But I'll be thinking of y[C7]ou and how it might have be[F]en
H[F]ear the nightbird c[Bb]ry and watch the sunset do[F]wn
Well I hop[C7]e you understand I just had to go back to the isl[F]and
[F]And watch the sun go d[Bb]own, hear the sea roll i[F]n.
[Dm7] [C#+]
