The Islander (Chords)
Other versions:
[Verse]
Cm Gsus4
An old man by a seashore
Fm/Ab Ab
At the end of day
Fsus4 Ebsus4
Gazes the horizon
Bb C5
With sea winds in his face
Cm Gsus4
Tempest-tossed island
Fm/Ab Ab
Seasons all the same
Fsus4 Ebsus4
Anchorage unpainted
Bb C5
And a ship without a name
[Verse]
Cm Gsus4 Fm/Ab Ab
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
Fsus4 Ebsus4 Bb C5
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Cm Gsus4 Fm/Ab Ab
Showing the way, lighting hope in their hearts
Bbsus2 Ebsus4 Bb C5
The ones on their travels homeward from afar

The albatross is flying making him daydream
Fsus4 Ebsus4 Bb C5
The time before he became one of the world's unseen
Cm Gsus4 Bbsus2 Ab
Princess in the tower children in the fields
Fsus4 Ebsus4 Bb C5
Life gave him it all an island of the universe, ahhhh
[Verse]
Cm Gsus4 Fm Ab
Now his love's a memory a ghost in the fog
Bbsus2 Ebsus4 Bb C5
He sets the sails one last time saying farewell to the world
Cm Gsus4 Fm Ab
Anchor to the water seabed far below
Bbsus2 Ebsus4 Bb C5
Grass still in his feet and a smile beneath his brow
