Jimmy Buffett – Island chords

[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]

DIsland I see you in the distance

I feel that your existence
                GIs not unlike my own
D      E          DIsland they say no man is like you
AThey say you stand alone
D          GSometimes I feel that way too
DIs it the need for love?

[Bridge]

AHeart and soul accompaniment
Bb         Bm         E         AThat seems to make me different from you

[Chorus]

Bm                   Em       AWell I tried to book passage, but you have no ports
Bm                     EAnd I tried to sail in but your wind and waters
ATore my sails and broke my oars.

[Verse 2]

DIsland I see you in the moonlight

Silhouettes of ships in the night
            GJust make me long that much more
DIsland I see you in all of my dreams
                                                  GBut I'm a man with no means to reach your distant shore
DWhen the need for love

[Bridge]

AHeart and soul accompaniment
Bb         Bm         E         AThat seems to make me different from you
Bm                   EmWell I tried to build bridges
ABut they all fell down
BmI've taken to the air on wings of silver
EBut always hit the ground

[Chorus]

Bm                   Em       AWell I tried to book passage, but you have no ports
Bm                     EAnd I tried to sail in but your wind and waters
ATore my sails and broke my oars.

[Verse 3]

DIsland I see you in the moonlight

Silhouettes of ships in the night
             GJust make me long that much more

[Solo]
