[Verse 1]
   D                  GMy heart is drifting southward
      C                G    DTo my home down in the sea
         C             GIt's the isle of St. Helena
         DWhere my loved ones wait for me
G                     DLong since I left it
         C             GBut I'll soon be going home
      C          D       GTo my St. Helena island
               D     GAnd swear I'll never roam


[Verse 2]
CDiamonds they are pretty
   G       D     GSo is your fancy cars
    CBut St. Helena island
   DIs prettier by far
G       D       G       DAll the wonders of this world
    C                GI'm told they number seven
    C          GBut St. Helena Island
               D       GIs the nearest one to heaven

CDiamonds they are pretty

G       D      GSomeday if the Lord above
      C               GComes out of heaven's gate
    C          GI'm sure He'll pick St. Helena
           D      GAnd use it as His place
