[Verse 1]
 
C      Gm         C     Gm
Taking islands in Africa
C                Gm           G#   C*
  Watch the slow boat hit and run
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em                Am7
Outside there's a world waiting
D                  Bb
  I'll take it all by storm
Em                Am7
  And when the sunset finds me
D            Bb
  I'm coming home
 
[Verse 2]
 
C      Gm         C     Gm
Taking islands in Africa
C                Gm           G#   C*
  Watch the slow boat hit and run
C             Gm
Every day the sun beats down
  C                   Gm
I pull away from shore
C                     Gm        G#   C*
  The wind blows hard into my sails
    C          Gm
Now I know I'm out of touch
          C                   Gm
And times they could get tough
C                  Gm               G#   C*
  But I'll move on so how could I fail?
 
[Instrumental]
 
C    Gm    C    Gm    C    Gm    G#   C*
Em   Am    D    Bb    Em   Am    D    C*
 
[Verse 3]
 
C      Gm         C     Gm
Taking islands in Africa
C                Gm           G#   C*
  Watch the slow boat hit and run
C                  Gm
When the evening fires burn
    C                     Gm
The daylight dead and gone
C              Gm           G#   C*
  With you beside me we can run
 
[Instrumental]
 
C    Gm    C    Gm    C    Gm    G#   C*
 
[Chorus]
 
Em                Am7
Outside there's a world waiting
D                  Bb
  I'll take it all by storm
Em                Am7
  And when the sunset finds me
D            Bb
  I'm coming home
 
[Verse 4]
 
    C      Gm         C     Gm
Oh! taking islands in Africa
C                Gm           G#   C*
  Watch the slow boat hit and run
C      Gm         C     Gm
Taking islands in Africa
C                   Gm           G#   C*
Just watch the slow boat hit and run
C             Gm
Every day the sun beats down
  C                   Gm
I pull away from shore
N.C.
The wind blows hard into my sails
