Tin Cup Chalice

[Verse]
G            C            G
I want to go back  to the island,
           C            D         
where the shrimp boats tie up to 
    G
the pilin'.
Em
Give me oysters and beer
    A7                           
for dinner every day of the year  
               D
and I'll feel fine.
          D7
I'll feel fine.

[Chorus]
     C        D          G
     'Cause I    want to be there,
               C                D 
     I want to go back down and 
             Em
lie beside the sea there.
            C                      
     With a tin cup for a chalice, 
        G       D/F#     Em
fill it up with good red wine,
                A7           
     and I'm a' chewin', on a 
 D            G    C G
honey-suckle vine.

2. [Verse]
Yeah, now, the sun goes slidin' 
'cross the water;
Sailboats, they go searchin' for the
 breeze.
Salt air it ain't thin, I can stick 
right to you skin,
and make you feel fine.  It makes 
you feel fine.
(repeat chorus)

3. [Verse]
Yes, and now you heard my strange 
proposal;
Get that pack gear up and let's 
move.
I want to be there 'fore the day, 
tries to steal away
and leave us behind.  I've made up 
my mind.
(repeat chorus and fade)
