Phil Vassar - Island Boy Chords

[Verse]
 
C5
He left Maine 'cause he needed a change
    G
And he was desperate to rearrange
F5
priorities, And he thought the sea
      G5
Would be the best place to be
 
      C
So he saved his money, sold his car
    G
And with his eye set on a Southern star
F5
Got the courage to follow his heart
G5
Set out for a brand new start
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        F
He's an island boy
            C
Now he's an island boy
G                     F                   C
Living his life where stress is the enemy
            F
Now he's an island boy
                C
A stone's throw from St. Croix
     Dm7               G                 F    C   Dm7   G
He's finally found his piece of serenity
 
 
[Verse]
 
      C
Now he tends bar at the Old Mango
      G
And he sees tourists come and go
     F
With their pressed pants and camera case
G
Too much sun burned on their face
 
       C
Now he watches the snow on CNN
     G
With all of his dope-smokin' friends
F
Just look at the hell they must be in
G
Swears he won't go back again
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        F
He's an island boy
            C
Now he's an island boy
G                     F                 C
Living his life where stress is the enemy
            F
Now he's an island boy
                C
A stone's throw from St. Croix
Dm7                     G                F    C   Dm7   G
He's finally found his piece of serenity
 
 
[Bridge]
 
F                                   C
You know the love of his life has always been Emily
F    C                G
She loves the man she sees
 
 
       F
In her island boy
            C
Now he's an island boy
G                     F             C
Living his life where stress is the enemy
            F
Now he's an island boy
                C
A stone's throw from St. Croix
     Dm7               G
He's finally found his piece of serenity
 
C   G                  F             Gsus4

A stone's throw from St. Croix
