 C
Day by day they drink and dream,

C
Old men staring out to sea,

         Dm     G              C
From the island, living on the island,

     C
And down in the harbour, it's a show,

 C
Watching all the people as they come and go,

       Dm     G              C
On the island, living on the island,
[Verse 2]
    C
And up in the mountains, they're alright,

 C
Tasting the first of the summer wine,

       Dm     G              C
On the island, living on the island,
[Bridge]
         G                 F
I wanna feel that sunshine in my heart,

             C               G
And let it blow my worries away,

          Bb                 F           G G7
I wanna spend a night in the ocean with her,
[Verse 3]
      C
That little lady lover who's in love with me,

  C
Prettiest little lady that I've ever seen,

       Dm     G              C
On the island, living on the island,
[Instrumental] G F C G Bb F G G7 Chorus]
           C
Ooh, and when I finally sail away,

    C
I know for sure I'll be back someday,

       Dm     G              Am   A7
On the island, living on the island,

       Dm     G              C
On the island, living on the island,

       Dm     G              C
On the island, living on the island,

       Dm     G              C
On the island, living on the island, (I wanna feel that sunshine on my back),

       Dm     G              C
On the island, living on the island, 

       Dm     G                       C              
On the island, we'll be living on the island, (I wanna feel that wind blow in my face),

       Dm     G              C
On the island, living on the island,

       Dm     G              C
On the island, living on the island,

       Dm     G              C
On the island, living on the island...
