Day by day they drink and dream, 
E 
Old men staring out to sea, 
         F#m    B              E 
From the island, living on the island, 

     E 
And down in the harbour, it's a show, 
 E 
Watching all the people as they come and go, 
       F#m    B              E 
On the island, living on the island, 

    E 
And up in the mountains, they're alright, 
 E 
Tasting the first of the summer wine, 
       F#m    B              E 
On the island, living on the island, 

         B                 A 
I wanna feel that sunshine in my heart, 
             E               B 
And let it blow my worries away, 
          D                  A           B 
I wanna spend a night in the ocean with her, 

      E 
That little lady lover who's in love with me, 
  E 
Prettiest little lady that I've ever seen, 
       F#m    B              E 
On the island, living on the island,

           E 
Ooh, and when I finally sail away, 
    E 
I know for sure I'll be back someday, 
       F#m    B              C# 
On the island, living on the island, 
       F#m    B                      E 
On the island, I'll be living on the island, 
       F#m    B                      E 
On the island, I'll be living on the island, 
                             F#m B       E 
And feel the sunshine on my back, on the island, 
                              F#m B 
And feel the wind blow in my hair, 
              E 
Living on the island.
