Joan Baez – Island In The Sun (Guitar)

C                 F
This is my island in the sun

G7
Where my people have

             C
Toiled since time begun

      F
I may sail on many a sea

G                         C
Her shores will always be home to me

C         F
Oh island in the sun

G                 C
Built to me by my father's hand

                   F
All my days I will sing in praise

        G
Of your forest waters

   C
Or shining sand

C
As morning breaks

F
The heaven on high

G                    C
I lift my heavy load to the sky

                      F
Sun comes down with a burning glow

G7                        C
Mingles my sweat with the earth below

C         F
Oh island in the sun

G                 C
Built to me by my father's hand

                   F
All my days I will sing in praise

        G
Of your forest waters

   C
Or shining sand

C                F
There's woman on bended knee

G                    C
Cutting cane for her family

                 F
I see man at the water-side

G7                  C
Casting nets at the surfing tide

C         F
Oh island in the sun

G                 C
Built to me by my father's hand

                   F
All my days I will sing in praise

        G
Of your forest waters

   C
Or shining sand
