Island Chords

(ver. 1)
Jimmy Buffett
[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]

D
Island I see you in the distance

I feel that your existence
                G
Is not unlike my own
D      E          D
Island they say no man is like you
A
They say you stand alone
D          G
Sometimes I feel that way too
D
Is it the need for love?

[Bridge]

A
Heart and soul accompaniment
Bb         Bm         E         A
That seems to make me different from you

[Chorus]

Bm                   Em       A
Well I tried to book passage, but you have no ports
Bm                     E
And I tried to sail in but your wind and waters
A
Tore my sails and broke my oars.

[Verse 2]

D
Island I see you in the moonlight

Silhouettes of ships in the night
            G
Just make me long that much more
D
Island I see you in all of my dreams
                                                  G
But I'm a man with no means to reach your distant shore
D
When the need for love

[Bridge]

A
Heart and soul accompaniment
Bb         Bm         E         A
That seems to make me different from you
Bm                   Em
Well I tried to build bridges
A
But they all fell down
Bm
I've taken to the air on wings of silver
E
But always hit the ground

[Chorus]

Bm                   Em       A
Well I tried to book passage, but you have no ports
Bm                     E
And I tried to sail in but your wind and waters
A
Tore my sails and broke my oars.

[Verse 3]

D
Island I see you in the moonlight

Silhouettes of ships in the night
             G
Just make me long that much more

[Solo]

D
