[Intro]
Cm
G# Cm (x3)
[Verse 1]
G# Cm
Black flies on the windowsill, That we are, That we are
G#
That we are to know
Cm
Winter stole summer's thrill
G#
And the river's cracked and cold
G# Cm
See the sky is no man's land
G#
A darkened plume to stay
Cm
Hope here needs a humble hand
G#
Not a fox found in your place
Cm G# (x2)
Cm
[Chorus]
Cm A# G#
And no man is an island, oh this I know
Cm
But can't you see, oh?
A# G#
Maybe you were the ocean, when I was just a stone
[Verse 2]
G# Cm
Black flies on the windowsill, That we are, That we are
G#
That we are to hold
Cm
Comfort came against my will
G#
And every story must grow old
Cm
Still I'll be a traveller
G#
A gypsy's reins to face
Cm
But the road is wearier
G#
With that fool found in your place
Cm G# (x2)
[Chorus]
(x2)
Cm A# G#
And no man is an island, oh this I know
Cm
But can't you see, oh?
A# G#
Maybe you were the ocean, when I was just a stone
Cm A# G#
And no man is an island, oh this I know
Cm
But can't you see, oh?
A# G#
Maybe you were the ocean, when I was just a stone

[Outro]
Cm G#
And I don't wanna beg your pardon
Cm
And I don't wanna ask you why
G#
But if I was to go my own way
Cm
Would I have to pass you by?
Cm G#
And I don't wanna beg your pardon
Cm
And I don't wanna ask you why
G#
But if I was to go my own way
Cm
Would I have to pass you by?
