On An Island Chords

(ver. 2)
David Gilmour
INTRO :
|Em/G Em/G Em/G Em/G|


VERSE 1:
Em/G            Am
Remember that night,
      Cmaj7/G        Bm7      Em/G
White steps in the moonlight.
               Am
They walked here too, 
              Cmaj7/G            Bm7      B7   Em/G
Through empty playground, this ghost's town.
          Am              Cmaj7/G         Bm7    Em/G
Children again on rusting swings, getting higher,
          Am
Sharing a dream,
      Cmaj7/G    Bm7  B7        
On an Island. It felt right.
   Em*          Bm          
We lay side by side,
            Dm*           Am
Between the moon and the tide.
Cm          Gm          A
Mapping the stars for a while.


CHORUS 1:
Cmaj7/G      Dmaj11/G      Cmaj7/G
Let the night surround you,
        Dmaj11/G        Cmaj7/G 
(We're) half way to the stars,
        Dmaj11/G      A
Ebb and flow
Cmaj7/G Dmaj11/G Cmaj7/G Dmaj11/G      Cmaj7/G
Let  it go, ——- feel her warmth beside you.

VERSE 2:
Em/G            Am
Remember that night,
    Cmaj7/G          Bm7   B7     Em/G
The warmth and the laughter.
        Am
Candles burn,
           Cmaj7/G      Bm7   B     Em/G
Though the church was deserted.
                Am                 Cmaj7/G        Bm7 B7  Em7
At dawn we went down through empty streets to the harbour,
             Am                 Cmaj7/G Bm7 B7   
Dreamers may leave, but they're here___ everafter.
Em  Bm  Dm*  Am  Cm Gm A
Da, da, da, da, da_____

Cmaj7/G       Dmaj11/G      Cmaj7/G

(We're) half way to the stars,
        Dmaj11/G    A
Ebb and flow
Cmaj7/G Dmaj11/G Cmaj7/G  Dmaj11/G      Cmaj7/G
Let  it go, ——-  feel her warmth beside you.
