Island In The Sun

Chords
pin

[C] This is my island [F] in the sun
[G7] Where my people have toiled since [C] time begun
[Am] I may sail on [Dm] many a sea
Her [C] shores will always be [G7] home to [C] me
[C] Oh island [Dm] in the sun [G7] willed to me by my [C] father's hand
[Am] All my days I will [F] sing and praise
Of your [G7] forest waters your [C] shining sands [G7] [C]
[C] As morning breaks the [F] heaven on high
[G7] I lift my heavy load [C] to the sky
[C] Sun comes down with a [Dm] burning glow
[C] Mingles my sweat with the [G7] earth be[C]low
[C] Oh island [Dm] in the sun [G7] willed to me by my [C] father's hand
[Am] All my days I will [F] sing and praise
Of your [G7] forest waters your [C] shining sands [G7] [C]
[C] I see woman on [F] bended knee
[G7] Cutting cane for her [C] family
[Am] I see man [Dm] at the water side
[C] Casting nets at the [G7] surging [C] tide
[C] Oh island [Dm] in the sun [G7] willed to me by my [C] father's hand
[Am] All my days I will [Dm] sing and praise
Of your [G7] forest waters your [C] shining sands
[C] I hope the day will [F] never come
That [G7] I can't awake to the [C] sound of a drum
[Am] Never let me miss [Dm] carnival
With caly[C]pso songs philo[G7]sophi[C]cal
[C] Oh island [Dm] in the sun [G7] willed to me by my [C] father's hand
[Am] All my days I will [Dm] sing and praise
Of your [G7] forest waters your [C] shining sands
