xThe melody is pretty similar to that of Jose Gonzalez's Heartbeats. So I pretty much just took the chords from that and use them here.. You need to use Capo on 2 to match the DJBB (http://www.donjohnsonbigband.com/) recording, or transpose the chords. And then just some basic arpeggios to fit the playing style. CAPO ON 2!! C, C, Am, Fmaj7 (All through the song) My island girl Is finding pearls at the bottom of the sea And knows the world is all make believe One final turn Time will turn the southern sky Don't run and hide the colors That make you dream She is sleeping in the sunlight I watch her quiet form The water seems to whisper out You're right where you belong This morning holds a promise The night will never keep She grinds her teeth and tells me We are honest when we sleep And the only sound in this lonely town Is hold me down I hope my feet don't leave the ground Now the only sound in our lonely town Is hold me now I swear my feet won't leave the ground CHORUS She wears that old red worn out sweater And walks along the shoreline, Picks a rock up from the sand and says Now you're mine A thousand years of mystery Safe within her hand The secret of the sea That only she will understand CHORUS And the only sound in this lonely town Is hold me down I hope my feet don't leave the ground Now the only sound in our lonely town Is hold me now I swear my feet won't leave the ground
