[Intro] D (8)
[Verse 1]
D(8) G(4) D(4)
Six years I’ve been in the city and every night I dream of the sea
D(8) A(2) G(2) D(4)
They say home is where you find it, will this place ever satisfy me?
[Verse 2]
D(8) G(4) D(4)
For I come from the salt water people, We always live by the sea
D(8) A(2) G(2) D(4)
Now I'm down here living in the city, With my man and a family
[Chorus]
Bm(2) A(2) D(4) A(2) G(2) D(4)
My island home, my island home. My island home, is waiting for me
Bm(2) A(2) D(4) A(2) G(2) D(4)
My island home, my island home. My island home, is waiting for me
[Verse 3]
Bm(2) A(2) D(4)
In the evening dry wind blows
D(4) G(4)
From the hills and across the plains
Bm(2) A(2) D(4)
I close my eyes and I'm standing
D(4) G(4)
In a boat on the sea again
Bm(2) A(2) D(4)
And I'm holding that long turtle spear
D(4) G(4)
And I feel I'm close now, to where it must be
Bm(2) A(2) D(4)
My island home is waiting for me
[Bridge] – D(8)
[Verse 2]
[Chorus x2]
