The Island

Dmaj7

[Verse 1]

  Dmaj7
I had to get away
                 Dmaj7
So I came to the island
Dmaj7
I just couldn't stay
                    Dmaj7
Now I'm here on the island
Gmaj7                          
Nothin' to do but stare at the palm 
Dmaj7
trees
Gmaj7                           
Kick off my shoes and feel that 
F#m7       A
tropical breeze

[Verse 2]

Dmaj7
I feel so fine
                    Dmaj7
Now that I'm on the island
           Dmaj7
There's no freeway in sight
                  Dmaj7
On this beautiful island
Gmaj7                    
I'm mesmerized, feeling so 
  Dmaj7
weightless
Gmaj7                     
I could just cry, this is real 
F#m7     A
success

[Chorus]

Why should I leave?
               Gmaj7
When it's so crystal clear
    Bm7        A#dim
One look in my eyes
            A6       G#m7b5
And you can see that I should
Gmaj7      A   A7#5
stay right here

[Verse 3]

Dmaj7
Umbrella drink
                 Dmaj7
Such a wonderful potion
     Dmaj7
It's just what I need
                    Dmaj7
After a swim in the ocean
Gmaj7                   Dmaj7
Sunset deluxe is what I live for
Gmaj7                           
Moonlight above will shine it's 
F#m7         A   A7#5
light on the sho~ore

[Verse 4]

Dmaj7
What's that I see?
                Dmaj7
Another perfect rainbow
   Dmaj7
So come stay with me
                    Dmaj7
We'll listen to the trade winds blow
Gmaj7                             
Breathe in, breathe out and take 
   Dmaj7
the time to
Gmaj7                    
Cosmically shout in island
